I HAVE WORKED FOR 18 YEARS AS A CHEMO NURSE GIVING PEOPLE THEIR MEDS AND HELPING THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THEM. I NEVER KNEW I WOULD BE IN THE SAME POSITION LISTENING TO THE DOCTORS EXPLAIN MASTECTOMY AND HORMONE THERAPY. I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I HAD TO LOSE.I AM SO LUCKY I DIDNT HAVE CHEMO OR RADIATION. BUT I DID LOSE MY BREAST AND HAD TO GO THRU ALL OF THE SAME EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTERS. I KNOW I WILL BE A BETTER NURSE ADVOCATE FOR MY PATIENTS WHEN I HEAL AND I WILL NEVER HURRY WHEN THEY NEED TO TALK FOR IT IS DEFINATELY HARDER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
