I came to the hospital seven days ago and was told I have cancer. I was very confused by all the doctors saying different things. For days I was very upset, depressed, and confused. Finally, I was told I would need surgery or chemo for cancer. The doctors were coming in one at a time making me very confused. I had a breakdown. My nurse, Shannon Lowman, went out of her way by being a third party and explaining everything to me. Shannon also explained my confusion to the doctors. She helped me through the hardest time of my life. If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what I would have done. She has so much compassion, and her patients are the number one thing to her.
