A suggestion/consolation for you

[Guest guest]

Roirae--I read that you're a hermaphrodite--must be a very hard and

confusing life to have lived without good support or guidance from

family or community. But it IS a life and your sexuality has nothing

to do with having cancer and whether you should be treated. I hope

there is (as there is in our modest-sized town) and community mental

health group--you need an advocate to hear/go with you to the Drs.

Even if your only insurance is Medicaid, you should be able to get

treatment. There are compassionate medical folk out there; I pray

you can connect with them. And attitude? well, do your best to play

it easy, because the medical folk want to deal with the cancer; you

could find/crank up support from the same mental health organization

to use the power of your feelings to work for good, not obstruction

of medical treatment. As I said, rough, but you can do it.

> This is not some sick joke, it is the truth. I was waiting to get

my radiology appts, but I instead I get the news that I refused

treatment. I am all ready for to buy my bus ticket, and here it is

someone tells me. The nurse says that refused treatment, this kind of

thing has been going on my life. I was born Intersexed, my child

psychologist knew that I would face threats. Because, of my gender

status. When I went to the oncologist, I was looking the banner for

Suviviors Day. Someone said " He will not be a suvivior. " And look

like it will truly. I wanted the surgery, and I would do anything it

took to get to that point. Every since they ran The Maphrodites With

Attitude and Maphrodites Unit. I have been having very bad luck. They

are just making sure die, so they can say good written.
