It’s worth mentioning that a year before her diagnosis, in 2014, Becky had a Pap and an ultrasound under the care of her family doctor, after an abnormal Pap smear. This doctor considered both a waste of time, and said she was fine. In 2015 that doctor’s medical license was suspended. Becky was never able to find out why. She tried to access the records of her 2014 ultrasound after her diagnosis, and they would not release them to her, and never would.
That day, she met with a radiologist. She was not due for a scan, and she was not given one. Instead, she received the vague assurance that they were going to “keep an eye” on her. The doctor said there was “nothing suspicious,” and her regular oncologists refused to see her because they deemed it unnecessary. A few months later she was able to see her chart. Of that visit, someone had written: “Rebecca continues to be paranoid.
Becky and the author in 2012. Photo: Scott Campbell My sister was always the most beautiful and effervescent person in whatever room she was in, but cancer had spindled her body down to nothing. A touch on her leg was agony. The organs around the cancer became obstructed and began to fail. One of us might sit at the edge of her bed holding her hand while she screamed in unbearable pain and another one of us went running down the hall for a nurse or a doctor, anyone, anyone.
