A Clarification.
The tumor was no longer malignant. When they opened up Jillian for surgery what they found was a mass of dead cells. They removed the dead cells and any surrounding tissue that the dead cells were attached to, including a lung.
I also need to make it clear that I do give the allopathic world some credit for the treatment and great care we have received. Clearly the chemo shrunk the tumor. Jillian was in a desperate situation and PCH and the doctors were there to help. For that I am eternally grateful.
At this time I am feeling like our family was violated. I wish we had been given a choice to leave the dead cells and healthy lung in Jillian. We were not even told the results of what the surgeon found until DAYS after everyone else knew. People I worked with DAILY with held the information.
I’m confused about how parents are treated as so unimportant. I am hurt that the people I trusted with my daughters life didn’t trust me to make the right choice for her health. How did we end up here? I am disappointed and hurt.
I am rejoicing because of her healing but I am mourning the state of the medical establishment. Is Jillian just a statistic now? Something the doctors can check off their list? "Oh now I’ve treated a rare form of cancer." or "Now I’ve removed a pleura." Is it all about notches in their belts? It certainly does not appear to be about Jillian right now.
