A week with “Brenda” — The lowdown on Brentuximab and Bendamustine

Thanks friend. I know exactly what you mean, I had a rant about the same thing. Like my whole being just wants to get past this treatment and medicine shit so bad and get back to normal, but the procedure itself really scares me a lot.

I’m more anxious than scared now, getting to know the people at my cancer center really helped. I normally go to a nice hospital where I work, so they treat me well (not bragging just my good fortune) but this place blew it out of the water. They are all professionals and everyone is sincerely nice. It made me sad when I saw little kids with cancer and masks on and no hair, but everyone I saw that I could tell was a patient and family we smiled and said hello to eachother. People don’t do that to strangers in my region, and certainly not to sick people. But there at the center we all fuckin get it, and are in it together.

Hope you have a good experience. I am no expert but I am a step ahead of you, so feel free to reach out if you have a question or need to vent. Take care and best of luck.
