I'm sorry you're having a bad time. I can't fix it, but know that I wish that no-one had to go through anything like what you're going through.
Usually people who speak English as a second language are, somewhat surprisingly, fairly happy to receive correction. I see now that you're probably not ESL.
Since I've no idea whether someone is happy to receive correction or not, either I do so and hope for a good outcome - and maybe educate others along the way - or never correct anyone ever in case someone tells me to, well, you know.
FWIW, I do know what its like to not be able to communicate properly with that horrible tip-of-the-tongue sensation, and I also know what it feels like to lose one's mind as well as lash out in frustration. Been there, done that, with bells on.
Not cancer in my case, but I've at least one close family member who had surgery and was on chemo drugs, so I can somewhat relate to that as well.
And since I didn't quite say it initially: I'm genuinely sorry I upset you and made you feel attacked. It was not my intent.
