@hanscasteels I was trying to figure out which one you will prefer (to be called): A writer who became a patient, or a patient who became a writer?
This entered my mind, because 6 years ago, I read a book, whose author mentioned that he's either a doctor who became a writer or a writer who became a doctor (maybe more of the latter).
After I finished reading his book, I formed an opinion that he is both.
Your writings are in progress, therefore I cannot form an opinion yet.
When "volume 1" of your writings is all done, possibly in book form, how would you like to be called?
Either of the two, or both?
(By the way, I plan to write a book too. If I do, will you permit to reference/quote some (or many) of your thoughts? I will anonymize my sources, many of whom will be contributors to this our forum; I will "direct message" my other prospective sources instead of asking them publicly like this "request' to you.)
I have read most (possibly all) of your posts.
Addendum;
I was a student editor in the old vountry who earned a degree in engineering. In Ontario, I was a certified engineering technologist (C.E.T.) for 25 years.
Therefore, I would like to be referred to, as a writer who became an engineering technologist & an engineering technologist who became a writer -- if I get lucky enough to find a publisher or if I "self-publish."
Best,

If I don’t share my experience with those that come after me, what’s the point? If one unsuspecting prostate cancer victim can leverage some of our collective experience so that his treatment would be more tailored and effectieve, that’s a win in my book. Call me the reluctant but eager chronicler
