For 32 years, I have worked at Beebe Healthcare. I am a graduate of Beebe’s School of Nursing, and I work as an oncology nurse at Beebe’s Tunnell Cancer Center. I love my job, my co-workers and my patients. In 32 years, I only took sick days to have my two children.
In August 2020, my mammogram showed growth of a lump. I had a right breast biopsy and learned that I had triple negative breast cancer. This letter is about the gratitude that I have for not only the excellent care that I received at Beebe, but also about the excellent people at Beebe who cared about me.
