Title: The fuel to finish your journey
“And that’s kind of, in my view, what the care team’s role should be, is help me
get through this journey, though I know it’s not going to be good all the time –
but help me make the best of it. And give me hope to keep going.
And um it touched me so deeply, the way that the team that I had took care in my
treatment. And I mean it was just small things. Like I was talking. . . like we
were saying . . .sitting down with me, um trying to explain things, um even simple
things like... Are you eating small meals at certain intervals to keep from getting
that queasy feeling? Um, just little pointers along the way. And, those things made
such a difference to me during my treatment and I mean, it was so touching and I
saw them doing it over and over again with different patients in the room. And it
made such an impression on me that I decided that that should be my role in giving
back, that I needed to go take care of some of these patients, so that I could help
them through their journey.”
