Nurses and Healthcare Workers are an entity of their own! We give to a fault, poor from our own glass way too often, care for all, work until we are exhausted and then work some more… and we often have a warped sense of humor. (We just can't be that perfect!). So, what you will find, is anything and everything that is All about the Nurse!
TTC 1.5 years & diagnosed with unexplained infertility. These are some things that have helped me along the way with understanding my cycles & hormones and improving my chances
This one is near and dear to my heart. In 2023 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge shock for all of us, especially when it has never ran in the family. There is not a lot of time to process a diagnosis like this, and treatment has to be done FAST. My mom was given the choice to go through chemo, where there was no guarantee it would destroy all the cancer, or to have a double mastectomy. She chose the mastectomy. I cannot say that I know exactly how she felt, but I know it was a really dark time for her. She had a hard time accepting she was losing her breasts and she felt like a piece of her womanhood was about to be taken from her. It was so important for me to give her as much love and support during this time for her. I am so thankful to say, she is doing so much better and was able to have a reconstructive surgery. I tried my best to provide her with items that were helpful after her surgery (for the mastectomy and the reconstructive surgery). These were items that my mother told me were her favorite and we would love to share her favorites as it might help someone else navigating this journey. If you or someone you know is battling breast cancer, I just want to say I am praying for you!
