Yes, another chemo Monday. Back again for two or three more for the road. We got here at 8 AM, something happened with the labs and we had to wait two hours before anything even started. So we were here a total of nine hours! We could've driven to San Francisco. We could've flown to New York and had some extra time. We could've gone to Hawaii and back. But, who ever wants to go back. So, same old, same old, we know the routine in our sleep. I was again mistaken for a patient. Could've been my frame of mind. I was wearing all black for Presidents' Day. Anyway got the CA 125 back and it went from 11 to 8 so that is very good news. Tumor markers going down and down. Michelle is very down because she was feeling so good three weeks out of chemo

  • Personal Narrative: My Recovery

    I’m actually kind of shocked I could write about recovery because it is a topic with a special meaning to myself. But, I found it easier to write about my own experience with a negative event this time, and I believe it is because I grew as a writer. I saw the value the personal testimony adds to a piece, and thus I could add my own story.

  • Personal Narrative: My Clinical Experience

    480 Words  | 1 Pages

    This weekend I was paired up with a nurse from the floating pull. It was a very interesting experience. For the first time since the beginning of the semester I can say that I was faced with a lot of critical thinking situations. I spend the day running around reminding my nurse of things he forgot or task we had to finish. It was already 2:00 pm and I still hadn’t performed an assessment on a patient, at this point I remember what Mrs. McAdams had said before “ we are in the hospital to help but our main priority is to learn and practice our skills” so I made the critical-thinking decision to tell my nurse that I needed to at least complete an assessment and since we were about to discharged a patient I could performed a final assessment on him before going home. I performed my assessment, had time to document and helped my nurse with the discharged. This weekend was a very challenging clinical for me but I also learned a lot. I learned to managed my time better, be proactive in my clinical experience and I also found my voice.

  • Personal Narrative: My Father's Battle With Cancer

    998 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine having to wake up each day wondering if that day will be the last time you see or speak to your father. Individuals should really find a way to recognize that nothing in life is guaranteed and that they should live every day like it could be there last. This is the story of my father’s battle with cancer and the toll it took on himself and everyone close to him. My father was very young when he was first diagnosed with cancer. Lately, his current health situation is much different than what it was just a few months ago. Nobody was ready for what was about to happen to my dad, and I was not ready to take on so many new responsibilities at such an adolescent age. I quickly learned to look at life much differently than I had. Your roles change when you have a parent who is sick. You suddenly become the caregiver to them, not the other way around.

  • I Am a Survivor of Breast Cancer

    When I finally made it to a doctor, I was told the lump was unlikely to be cancer, but needed to be looked at nonetheless. My doctor reassured me that an "incisional biopsy" could be performed on an outpatient basis and that I would be able to return home that same day. I had the biopsy on a Friday and as I was recovering, still in a daze from the pain medication, I couldn't help but notice my doctor's furrowed brows as he asked me to return on Monday to go over the results. He went on to explain that I actually had two tumors, one masking the other. I was now faced with a double-threat, if you will, to my 4...

    For awhile, I was improving with the change up in my medications and the UV treatments. In May, my husband and I took our first plane ride in eight years. We went to Nashville to visit some friends, and while I was nervous about the large quantities of medication I had bring with me, things went pretty smoothly. Well, as smooth as it can go when insomnia strikes and fatigue rages on. However, I came back from the trip feeling like things were finally heading upward–this time for good. I couldn’t believe I had conquered such a huge healing milestone!

  • Descriptive Essay On Caffeine

    Again I started my day with my normal routine, sans coffee, except now the symptoms seemed to be clearing. My headache had finally started to subside, and I felt rested. The haze that I experienced on Wednesday seemed all but gone. I was optimistic that the entire day would stay like this, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I still struggle through my daily workout, missing my caffeine jump start, but it was an improvement from Wednesday. I continued to keep my water intake a little higher than normal in hopes that this would help to elevate some of the symptoms, as well as fill the voids where I would normally be drinking coffee. Staying hydrated had the positive effect I had envisioned, it seemed to give me an energy boost that helped propel me through the days without caffeine. Friday was the easiest of the three days, the splitting headache and lethargic feelings that I experienced on Wednesday were a distant memory. I was no longer irritable and my energy levels seemed to normalize
