Over the last two years, my family has been faced with three of our loved ones receiving a cancer diagnosis. The empathy, compassion, and support that Nicole has given me and my family has brought us comfort and reassurance during these times. Two years ago, when both my husband and my nephew who had a new baby were faced with news of their diagnosis only seven weeks apart, Nicole was amazing. I could lean on her so I could be strong for my family. She would offer words of support, encouragement, and help with navigating through our difficult healthcare system. Just one week ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. As I am the person in my family who schedules appointments, has been there through surgeries and treatments, and has been there through the follow-up appointments and care, I cannot thank Nicole enough for being my angel. As our family faces these challenges, I am grateful to have Nicole to lean on so I can be the rock for my family. Thankfully my family members are doing well. I will forever be grateful to know and work with Nicole.
