A member asked:

How do you feel visiting paediatric cancer unit?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Personally I love: Visiting kids and helping parents to cope. Some of the brightest and saddest moments ocur there. Visitors need to decide if they can be there for the kids and their folks, and be respectful of them and their feelings. You are visitors, not health pros, and need empathetic enerrgy not problem solving intution. Humilty and compassion help.

I am on HumulinR U-500 (95 units AM and 120 units PM) I'm under cancer care. What does one do when they cannot afford the U-500 insulin? With Medicare it is too costly and I don't qualify for company assistance. U100 would be mega doses?
