I have multiple myeloma...thank you for mentioning cancer patients wanting to "make their doctor happy" by not fully disclosing their symptoms and going along the "everything is going well" theater. I sometimes do this because it actually makes my life easier, it's more of a mental health protection for me because doctors can start gaslighting you or pressure you on treatments you don't understand or are ready for. Anyway, this is why it's very important to educate yourself on your diagnosis and treatment and be your own advocate, do your own research and follow up that research with lots of questions. May God grant all those with cancer healing and health 🙏
I don’t have any desire to please anyone especially a physician, but I’m sick of being ignored and gaslit by physicians. It took years for a correct diagnosis b because of incompetent and uncaring physicians. They stole my quality and duration of my life.
I am experiencing pain with treatment that no one wants to admit that I have. I am told how well I’m responding and should feel ok. I also have a bad heart with a 30 year old bypasses all but one plugged. I know everyone wants to make me feel better but I’m the one in pain!
Speak up dear. I wrote up a doctor twice for withholding pain medication and now I am handled with kid gloves. Put your concerns in writing. Wrote to his boss or to the hospital where he works. One doctor told me: "You are very smart...." He looked nervous.

Sometimes diet can increase the intensity of pain if something in the diet causes inflammation.
