Katie-thank you for being a peds oncology nurse. For all the nurses who stand by and care for the children and the families facing this arduous trek-we’re grateful ❤️
Joshua was diagnosed as a teen. Missing activities with schoolmates and family was hard. So much self awareness about loss of hair and physical challenges like walking with walker, crutches, cane, no assist.
Relapse and back to the cane now on a persistent basis. Feeling apprehensive as a teen about using the disability placard when he drives and looks for parking. All challenges he didn’t expect, but we’re proud of him for being a brave teen💛.
Sara I think the adolescents have an especially difficult time with cancer because of the types of issues Joshua is dealing with. Developmentally, they should be pursuing the things that fuel them, social engagements, and independence. That's the stuff many people don't understand.
