From my first, terrifying day of treatment through every visit that followed, one nurse has been by my side as a calming and reassuring presence. She has always taken the time to answer every question and make sure I am comfortable and at ease. When I was hospitalized due to an unexpected complication, she reached out and stayed in contact with me the entire time. Her messages, support, and willingness to answer questions made me feel like she was right there with me. I thank God for her and the kindness she brings to every patient she meets. She consistently shows compassion, love, and genuine care — qualities that make her an extraordinary nurse and a true blessing.

As a new cancer patient with PTSD related to hospitals and health care, one nurse was a true blessing, always making sure I was at ease and cared for both physically and emotionally. When I was hospitalized due to a clotting complication, she regularly checked in with me, sending messages and staying in contact throughout yet another health scare. Her support made me feel as though she was with me every step of the way, providing peace of mind during some of the scariest moments — often going above and beyond, even outside of regular working hours. Her compassion and kindness during such a difficult time will never be forgotten.

From the very beginning of my cancer journey, this nurse has been right beside me. She’s held my hand during tears and celebrated my good days with me. She’s not just a nurse — she’s a friend, family, and emotional support. She goes out of her way to take care of me, even going the extra mile to make treatments more comfortable. She is truly a hero, and I am so grateful for her care and compassion.
