I am 19 years old and was diagnosed with cancer; to say I was scared and nervous doesn’t even touch the emotions I was having.

On my first inpatient visit, I met Jesse, and he helped ease my mind and made me feel comfortable. Every visit, even if he isn’t my nurse, he takes time out of his day to come talk to me.

Jesse has made my cancer journey easier. He always has a smile on his face and is the most caring and patient nurse I have met. Jesse is not just one of my nurses; he is my friend.
