My stay here has been a bit scary due to my diagnoses. All I knew is that I would be starting chemo soon. To be honest, I was consumed with fear. The problem was that there was not much info to go off of until certain tests were completed. I am writing this because there were two people here who really went above and beyond making sure that I did not feel alone, adding to my comfort level and really just making me feel like I had genuine friends when there was no one else around. One of those ladies is Nurse Ceciley Harper.
The reason why I speak of these two young women is not solely because they were great nurses, but because they showed that they cared about me as a person, not just their patient. They talked when I needed just that, they listened when I needed a shoulder, but most importantly they educated me about this process that I was going through, all while learning themselves. These women were exceptional.
