My heart sank, when they told me it was Cervical Cancer. my thoughts were all over the place, but not on me per-say.. who's going to care for my mom, who is unable to walk due to a stroke, and all her other health issues.my husband, love him, but my house will be trashed in no time with him & 5 dogs. how long will I be away from my residents? who's going to are for them? {I'm an S.T.N.A. and I care for my residents like family. I MUST make them smile daily.} Am I going to be like my resident in room 101, she was not in good shape. *For REAL!!? you just tell me I have Cervical Cancer, I'm bleeding like a.. don't know what, told you I do LOTS of lifting at work..and you want me to go to work on Thursday, this is Wednesday? REALLY!!?.
