My mother postponed her colonoscopy to avoid a hospital during covid lockdowns. By the time she was diagnosed with colon cancer, she only had a chance to do one treatment, had a severe reaction, and decided it wasn't worth the suffering. It was in her lungs by then anyway. Surgery was ruled out for the size and number of growths.
Had we done better as a society to keep covid from spreading, my mother would likely have caught the cancer sooner and had a chance to fight it.
Our lack of healthcare in the country is appalling. When will we demand better?
