Autumn and the month of October. Let's go back to the time of school days and the main assigned topics for the beginning of the school year. And now in this current autumn, this Michaelmas summer, the month of October, which for other reasons remains for writing and evaluation. It is dedicated to us women and the fight against breast cancer, pink ribbons and balloons. Every leaf is a woman, every balloon that goes up into the sky is the soul of a woman, the one who, unfortunately, is no longer with us. The one who, like the rest of us, is someone's mother, sister, daughter, wife, grandmother...
I wonder - what about the other days of the year from October to October?
How much is human life respected, or does it all come down to statements, numbers and calculations. I believe that knowledge should be improved, molecular biology, genetics should be invested in, research in the field of medicine should be promoted, all of this should be invested for the benefit of our citizens. We all know that it is debatable how long a person will live, but I believe that a good doctor can cure you and that the most serious disease should be fought as long as it lasts.
The treatment does not end with the discharge from oncology and the completion of the official part of the received therapies (specifically, I mean surgery, radiation and chemotherapy).
Does cancer still remain famous, a subject that is whispered about, the sufferer feels sorry for and remains marked left to itself in most cases?
Because every person while alive moves forward, some less, some more, and every day is an extension of life.
Besides ultrasound, mammography, scanner and magnetic resonance, why don't we have the famous pet scanner available here in our country because unfortunately many are not able to perform such checks in the environment due to the inability to pay the costs? How many opportunities are available for the rehabilitation of oncology patients - there are no centers that will provide adequate professional help, a form of recreation, exchange of opinions and experiences, somehow to ease the entire very difficult path that this wicked disease carries and leaves its mark on both the patient and the rest of the family . Because those who haven't been through it can't understand, they can only sympathize.
Everything is important, believe me, I went through it and to this day I am dealing with the consequences, for seven years, and everything is somehow the same, there is no progress. Just a statement when October starts and the numbers of how many women get sick in Montenegro, how many unfortunately die. Those who survive are left to struggle as far as possible... Don't eat meat, no sugar, not this... and suffer as much as you want. However, it is true - the healthy does not trust the sick. Many women with whom I communicate, who are from this story, are dissatisfied because they need support. Many are silent, they would say something, but they don't dare because the mere thought of the underlying disease is enough trouble...
When a person is alone and when he is sick, he sees that there is no understanding and support from those who should remember for themselves. We need more help for doctors who are ambitious and want to learn from the best and without the slightest vanity or bad ego, they fight for the life of a patient in a human way.
There are no rules, there are no untouchables and doctors find themselves on the other side, ie. are patients like us, cancer knocks on their door too.
Then there are situations where patients whose lives have been saved are the best, most sincere and most faithful support for the victory of this wicked disease.
To all who read this, I wish that all troubles pass them by, that those who are sick get well, because life is a gift and should be fought for. He who fights can lose, but he who does not fight has already lost.
