I am a nurse. You would think I knew better. I think I was scared and in quite a bit of denial. I have been a nurse for a long time and have worked in critical care and lets just say..knew enough to be dangerous to myself.
A lymph node became inflammed on my neck and I recognized it when I could see it in the mirror. There it was. I am good at taking care of others, but, not myself. I also have the philosophy that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and a general mistrust for medicine and …

I am not a cancer survivor, but my 18 year old daughter is 6 months out from treatment for papillary thyroid cancer. Treatment was amazingly easy for her.

Mine..not so much, but it is not about me. It is very stressful time and I am trying to learn as much as I can, from the medical community and other fellow travelers on this journey.
