In reply to the discussion: Some healthcare workers refuse to take COVID-19 vaccine, even with priority access [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,664 posts)and that you don't want someone taking care of your elderly mother, if it they had refused vaccination. That sounded a wee bit stronger than just a preference in the context of the tone of this thread. (The thread is pretty much the typical condemnation of anyone not taking the vaccine - suggesting they should lose their job if they refuse - without much recognition that this is a very different situation.)
Thanks as to cancer. This is my second bout - I had breast cancer in 2016. Since breast cancer is a relatively common and benign disease in my family, it didn't worry me too much (I'm the 5th in 4 generations - all of whom are either still living, or died decades after diagnosis with, but not from, cancer.) This one is different - more aggressive, rare enough that literature is inconclusive about standard of care, making it much harder to cope wiith.
All I have to say is that Trump better not run in 2024. I can't take another cancer diagnosis that coincides with another Trump run for office.
