Peggy Finn was my nurse during my bout with cancer. She saw me through radiation therapy and chemo therapy. I was not the best patient because I was afraid that I was dying. She comforted me with kind words and also words of strength. She gave me the courage to take things one day at a time. I took her advice and the days turned from weeks to months to years. I had my bad days and I called Peggy about each odd bump or swelling or pain. She would always call me back. I truly appreciated her caring and understanding. I remember Peggy because there were times that she was the only one to comfort me and she did! I hope she is acknowledged for her gift of compassionate care to cancer patients like myself.
