Make a Fuss

I knew something was wrong. I still waited 15 hours to ask for help. If you’ve ever told yourself “it’s probably nothing” when your body was saying otherwise, tell me what held you back. In 2021, I woke up in ICU after emergency surgery. I’d spent hours in agony, convinced I was fine - and that asking for help would make me a burden. Years later, I found a lump in my breast. This time, I called the doctor straight away. It was cancer, but it hadn’t spread. Early detection saved my life. The biggest thing that changed wasn’t my ability to judge how serious it was. It was believing I was worth making the call. You don’t have to decide whether it’s serious. That’s what medical professionals are there for. Your job is to speak up and let them help. Save this for the moment you start minimizing what you feel. And send it to someone who needs the reminder: you are worth the fuss. What have you been putting off speaking up about?
