When they see me, which is at every appointment and procedure, they know I am looking for a discussion about progress and treatment plans. We go to a top center with very high volume so I interact efficiently because their time with the patients is limited.<br /> I see many patients who have to go alone, I feel bad for them as I don't know how they do it.<br /> I think your patients and their relatives are lucky to have such a caring professional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1680292 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:50:09 +0000 Staysfit 1680292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, I know I would take you seriously. I'm sorry you are in this position. I think it's great when a family brings an advocate with them to a team meeting or appointment at our program. I hope your relative's medical team was receptive to your presence and intervention on his/her behalf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1680258 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:06:08 +0000 Joyce B 1680258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind comments, I appreciate the support.<br /> As Sheila mentioned, having a healthcare advocate is extremely helpful when you are a patient and you need to navigate the system or just need some support.<br /> When it comes to advocating, it is always easier to help someone else than to help yourself regardless of how much you know, everyone can use a hand from a caring relative or friend.<br /> And as we know from the forum, it helps to dress the part.<br /> We are praying for a good outcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1680188 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 22:38:55 +0000 Eliza 1680188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce- you looked all business and it seems it was effective. These situations can take a lot out of us and your relative is lucky to have your support.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1680151 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:24:49 +0000 Sheila 1680151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos on knowing what you needed to wear -- and wearing it! And bless you for caring so much for your dear relative. We should all be so fortunate...advocacy is a critical component of health care these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1680148 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:19:27 +0000 kimlee 1680148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce - Your battle suit is fantastic.

I reminded myself to be strong by wearing the dark fuscia top, a definite armour for me.<br /> Things went well but you are always on your toes in situations like these. The moment you get too confident you get reminded that you are not the boss.<br /> Life is fragile and can change quickly, we only have the present and there are no guarantees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1679878 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:59:02 +0000 kkards 1679878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's amazing what simple cloth will do to help us emotionally….armour indeed. you look perfectly ready to face whatever needs to be faced. hope it went well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1679832 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:23:18 +0000 Style Fan 1679832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a difficult position to be in.&nbsp; You look very determined and like you mean business. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1679829 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:19:41 +0000 Anonymous 1679829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with other posters. &nbsp;You look <u>determined</u> and <u>fierce</u>. &nbsp;</p> <p>I wish you and your loved one the absolute best. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1679708 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 02:53:15 +0000 Anonymous 1679708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed it and will be taken seriously.

Wishing you success with this. It is so hard to be in this position, I know.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--my-battle-suit#post-1679589 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:38:54 +0000 Joyce B 1679589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I wore to speak with the team that takes care of my dear relative with serious medical condition.<br /> After some stress eating my jackets are tight so I have this new AK jacket that needs about 1" shortening of the sleeves but had no time to shorten them. I wanted to wear a dark fuscia linen jacket but that looked like fun that I was not having so I went with AK, a Halogen dark fuscia top with black dots and black pants. There is a black garbage bin to one side that blends with my pants making them look wider than they are.<br /> I also like to add red or a similar color to feel stronger. My main goal with this outfit was to look serious, I hope I accomplished that, what do you think?<br /> We got some encouraging news but still need to battle. </p>
