Today was chemo #16 for my current run. I’ve been doing this every 3 weeks for a year now. When I started it, I was hoping it would at least get me through 2018. To buy more time. To say I’m grateful it is still working is an understatement.
Notice the little cover hanging over my chemo bag? That cute little thing is thanks to my friend Crysta (for mailing them) and her mom for making them (she is also a cancer warrior). I can’t cover the actual chemo bag but they let me use it on my pre-meds. I know you’re jealous you just have a plain-Jane bag.
In case you didn’t already know: It’s nurse’s week. Nurses are the backbone in all healthcare settings; the unsung heroes. To be honest, they are the ones keeping us alive half the time and the other half they are holding our hands and bestowing compassion. They smile and do their best to brighten your day. Many times they skip lunch, skip the bathroom, and work overtime to finish charting. Oh and don’t forget the occasional poker game held in the break room (ya right!)
To thank my funny, compassionate, and dedicated oncology nurses today I brought them some fresh berries and of course some cookies. Did you thank a nurse this week?
