“You’re too young to have cancer. Too pretty. Too much woman.” The journalist had to confront the diagnosis, the doctors didn’t believe her. And she’s not the only one
Journalist Adéla Ježková has had surgery for colon cancer. She is now about halfway through twelve cycles of chemotherapy. Pain and bleeding have been bothering her since spring, but it took several months before she managed to convince the medical staff that she was not making up her problems, that she was not a hypochondriac or a hysteric, that she did not need a psychologist or a psychiatrist, but a CT scan or a colonoscopy. In the interview she talks about her “journey to the diagnosis” and the course of her treatment in a factual, open and detailed manner.
