In some recentcolumns, adults with CF have explored the relationship between family members advocating on their behalf and how they advocate for themselves.
Who has been an advocate for you? How have you advocated for yourself?
So far, I’ve been fortunate enough to not have anyone need to step up to advocate for me in a medical situation. However, I myself have been an advocate for both my husband and parents when they’ve in the hospital with serious medical issues. I listen and learn all that I can as to stay knowledgeable of their procedures throughout their stay, and do my best to ensure that they receive the help they need, as well anything at all that can possibly make their stay easier and more comfortable.
