Hello there. I am still alive. Just changed jobs recently. I am working at an oncology clinic here in texas. "Texas Oncolgy" and I love it. Totally different from the hospital setting. And the best thing, I'm working days now. Night schedule was really kicking my butt. I was so grouchy and exhausted all the tiem. I really needed this change. I've been here now for three weeks and I can honestly say I've learned so much. I was working in the cardiac area previously to this and well it's a totally different ball game in oncology. We see from 40-60 patients daily strictly with cancer or any type of hematology disorder. That doesn't include the patients that are already in chemo and in the radiation rooms. I'm with the doctor mainly right now, but I will soon be cross trained to the chemo room. Super excited. I've always been drawn to this area since my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I'm glad I am finally able to get in here. On the last of this month, it was the year anniversary of my mom's passing. So difficult, especially now that I am working here, the same place where I used to bring her to get treated. The same hallways we used to walk through...Extremely difficult, but the only thing that helps me get through is the knowledge that she is not suffering anymore; that her pain exists no more but only in memories. She is happy and that she is watching over me somehow. My husband is a blessing and he has gotten me through some of those hard months were I didn't even think it would be possible to get through. Thank God for him. Otherwise, things are well. My husband and I are incredibly happy. No babies planned yet until maybe in 2 years. Planning to hit San Antonio, Texas sometime at the end of this month. Excited. Sorry for leaving everyone hanging..If anyone reads this anyway.

Peace and love,
B.
