Post Script

Cancer and an initial slow recognition of the disease ravaged Dan’s body. If you or your loved ones experience mystifying symptoms and seek medical help, we encouraged you to be persistent and not accept dismissive care. Advocate for yourself and insist upon more aggressive testing if the medical establishment does not take your symptoms and concerns seriously. A slow diagnosis is of no help.

If an illness progresses beyond treatment, Don’t be afraid to enter into hospice care. Yes, it is heartbreaking to acknowledge the true impact of an illness, but if it is obvious, we have found hospice care to be a huge support and relief.
