i received an email yesterday evening from a girl who's blog i read. she is 24 with cin3 borderline cervical cancer. i have to say, although i have never met her, i feel like she is just the type of person that socially-awkward me would totally want to be friends with in real life (as opposed to internet life). i really feel for her mostly because of my work and my disterbing past . . .
well, anyway, i read her blog daily and i feel a bit of a connection to her. i figured that she didn't think twice about me, even though i left a rather insensitive post on her blog about the hpv vaccine back in september. so, she emailed me last night asking gyn advice because she was having a bad post-op reaction, it almost made me cry. so i asked her for her op information and went to the doctor (the one i work for) with it, and she was able to offer a bit of advice. i told this girl that she can email me whenever, can im me, i would even give her my phone number. it just gets to me that she is hurting and has no-one she feels comfortable turning to. she lives in the u.k. and has some pretty junky healthcare. yuckos.
my point is: if anyone out there has any gyn or "girly" problems and you feel like you have no one to turn to . . . here i am. i've heard it all and would hate to think that a woman is suffering with nobody to talk to.
my better blog,
health care
