I honestly cannot believe the sheer incompetence that I have been dealing with while trying to get scheduled in with the VA oncologist here in Denver, Colorado.
Monica the nurse practitioner was even laughing while on the phone with me about the entire situation as if it were a laughing matter….
I have a terminal brain cancer diagnosis. So it’s definitely funny that I’m jumping through hoop after hoop?
I have called patient advocate. I have called speciality scheduling. I have shown up to my appointments. Yet here I am. I have done everything how I am supposed to and I refuse to play this game any longer.
They gave me 3 months to live over 3 years ago now. Imagine if I wasn’t doing so good, and I actually needed their help? If I actually had to rely on the VA to “ stay alive”…..
So many of our brothers and sisters are dying because of their incompetence. Mistreated, disrespected, and let down constantly.
Share this, tag people in high places, let’s get this out so we can continue to highlight the failures in the VA system and make the necessary changes that our veterans need.
I rate community care 1,000 times over again. I started my cancer journey out in town over 3 years ago for this very reason.
Stand up for yourself.
Refuse to take the disrespect, and learn your rights. Be your own advocate or find someone who will advocate for you.
You are not alone, and never out of this fight.
Always Love,
