🎗️ It's Cancer Talk Week, and at Tees, we empathise with the challenges and emotional toll that Sarcoma cancer brings. In a special feature, Medical Negligence Associate Isobel Foenander delves into the critical issue of medical negligence related to sarcoma. Let's shine a light on this important topic together! 💙✨ https://buff.ly/47LRdHP #SarcomaAwareness #TeesLaw #MedicalNegligence #CancerTalkWeek

Getting any type of cancer or rare disease diagnosis is overwhelming. For someone like myself who did not have a background in anatomy, biology, science, medicine, or anything related, I did not know what to expect other than what I already knew at the time which was pretty much nothing. I relied very heavily on my family not just for support but to also be my eyes and ears, record keepers, and note takers. No matter how well you pay attention during your appointments, sometimes the info can go straight over your head. There is multiple ways to keep records such as saving the reports from your appointments as well as your scans, manually taking notes and audio recordings. I didn’t have all of the above for every appointment and a official documentation of every step of the way, but between them all, it does help peice together the puzzle that paints the picture. This is Episode 2. of the series I’m creating that retraces the steps of all my appointments, procedures, operations, etc. from the time I was diagnosed until the current day. In total, it’s been six years since this all started and to date, I’ve had 18 months of initial treatment followed up with labs and scans since January 2020. It’s a lot to go through but also gives me a whole new appreciation and understanding of everything along with being some of the best therapy a survivor can have. #CellTherapy #EndCancer #Melanoma #MetastaticMelanoma #MalignantMelanoma #MucosalMelanomaSurvivor #TIL ##TILtherapy #ClinicalTrials #TumorInfiltratingLymphocytes https://lnkd.in/gtk53cfg
