I've got to have a 'conversation' with a patient tomorrow. It looks like she's got ovarian cancer.

[Aristus]

I've already put in a referral to gynecologic oncology, and there is some follow up imaging to do. But I'm not looking forward to breaking the news to her.

Vibes for her, and for our visit tomorrow, please.

1. Oh boy, my dear Aristus...

Major Major vibes for you both.

That is going to be tough. But if anyone can do it with empathy, it's you...

I'm so grateful that when my opportunity to stop that disease arrived, I took it. Of course, not everybody has such a moment...

I hope she can beat it. And you will be part of that effort...

2. oh dear

I know it's one of those cancers that can be pretty far along by the time it is diagnosed.....it killed my mum

[Aristus]

3. I'm sorry to hear that, Skittles.

Based on my patient's past history and other risk factors, the prognosis isn't good...

[Skittles]

6. oddly enough

what did my mum in was.......no pain - while there was discomfort from fluid build up, she was never in any real pain - she died of cancer and didn't even take a Tylenol......I've made sure my doctor is aware of that (I've noticed I never need pain pills following extensive dental work)

4. Prayers/vibes for her and for you.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to have to deliver news like that.

Thank you for being strong enough to be the one who helps and comforts such patients.

14. Good vibes going out to both of you

How dear of you, Aristus, to come here for vibes for this lady. She is lucky to have you in her corner, assisting her in this difficult ordeal.

I know you will find the right words, and she will undoubtedly take comfort from that.

I'll be thinking of you, and her. Godspeed.

You can beat it, it ain't always fun though. The first and most important thing to arm yourself with is a conviction cancer can be beaten. Belief goes a long way. Belief in winning can pick your head up off a pillow when it weighs 500 lbs.

[Aristus]

17. I'm very moved.

Thank you for the wonderful vibes.

I love you all...
