… Radiation, self harm or not.
The second time I was diagnosed with breast cancer was also the time when my father was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, so my family were a little distressed, to say the least. The Doctors suggested radiation was the only answer at this stage. I did not believe in my heart that I wanted to self harm through radiation but the fear put into me and my family at such a vulnerable time was too strong to resist. With little knowledge of radiation and just surrounding myself by supposed health experts at the hospital we were led in the direction of self harm or radiation as they called it. ‘Have radiation or maybe die’ was the message from the Doctors. By the way you will see at the end of the story that the breast cancer came back a third time in the same area that was radiated, so did it work? Not on me, and only caused my body harm and future problems.
