I have cancer and was told that I probably have only a year at best to live. The third chemo is not working and neither is the radiation. My body is not responding to any treatment. Bethany was my nurse that day. She took excellent care of me. Beyond the care, she held me while I cried, she prayed with me. She offered to talk anytime day or night, working or not. She offered to help me get thru this any possible way that she could. Bethany's heartfelt kindness went far and beyond her job that day. She even comforted my husband when he broke down. The comfort and caring that she gave me that day has made me stronger inside, giving me the will and courage to try and fight this even harder.

I was a long term patient (18 days) and Bethany demonstrated commitment from the time that she entered the room until her exit. She would listen and professionally answer my questions. It was obvious that she loved her job. Bethany is making a difference.
