It affects my life everyday. I am a nurse for the only not for profit hospice organization in Polk county. I got into after I was diagnosed back in 2005 with melanoma. I have since beat it. I lost my grandparents on my dads side of the family to lung cancer back in 1990 and 2000.
When I was in Nursing school I got involved with the ACS Relay for life and have been a team captain for the last eight RFL in Haines City, leading a team from my church in finding a cure. The easiest way to put it, having goe through cancer is that it SUCKS!
I commend you on what you are doing and if anyone has any questions or need help with anything let me know.
