Ratmando, your story is astonishing. And it's frightening to think it may be repeated over and over again with women who aren't as able as you were to finally take charge of your own information and become your own advocate.
I've bookmarked your blog, and will be interested both to read some of your back-posts and keep up with your future work. I think what impresses me most is that after 30 years of a difficult health journey, your attitude is smart, positive and proactive. Which is not to say that you sweep any negative feelings under the rug -- they are part of your story, and are important. But you are able to walk the thin line between emotion and bitterness, and I find that phenomenal.
Please look in on Empowher often -- you are just the kind of woman who helps other women looking for answers. Thank you, and take care!
