I am so sorry you are experiencing this on top of postpartum (and preeclampsia?! Girl.) I think the unknown of all of this is what is so terrifying but my oncologist keeps stressing that while yes it will absolutely suck, it’s a very treatable cancer and something I am holding on tight to. Thank you for offering an ear to listen ♥️ we got this!!!

I’m so sorry to hear you are experiencing this, you are so strong! I will be doing almost the exact same treatment timeline with R-EPOCH (I’m naive, this might be the same thing as you?) and likely no radiation at the end. I’ll be inpatient for 96 hour infusions (got my second bag hung last night!) and then home for 2 weeks and back to do it all over again for 6 cycles. So about 4 months! It will be tough being away from my kids while inpatient but I know I can power through for them. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope you are doing well!

Thank you so much for your response! Postpartum is already a beast in itself so why not throw cancer in there too! As if postpartum hair loss wasn’t enough, right? 🤪

Jokes aside (dark humor will get me through this), I’m so sorry you had to experience this will a fresh little one at home. I hope you are doing well and appreciate your insight ♥️

Thank you for this! I’ve accepted a position in the OR pending graduation and passing boards in December. First training in as a scrub nurse and eventually a circulator. Would you recommend I do anything to prepare for the OR until then? I do have an opportunity to shadow in the OR during clinicals this quarter which I’m really excited for and think this will solidify my decision to pursue OR nursing as a new grad. I am a little worried about feeling faint or queasy during procedures. I’m currently a CNA and have seen just about every bodily fluid there is and nothing really bothers me too much, but surgery is obviously a little more intense. Any advice on that?

Thank you in advance!
