A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
Tomorrow it is back to ENT to have them take off the steristrips, get the pathology results, and start talking with endocrinology about when my radioactive iodine ablation will be. I logically know they will most likely only have good things to tell me but I am still nervous anyway.
Today my mom and I took Daniel to the doctor for pink eye. He’s had a cough for about a month and yesterday his eye started to produce puss. I’m a nurse and I know better but it looked so terrible I figured putting the erythromicin eye ointment in couldn’t hurt. It seems to be working because it looked much better today and the pediatricians agreed. We are definitely getting our monies worth out of military medicine this year!
Currently I am reading two books right now, one from my friend Chae Certain Things Last which is a collection of short stories and a book The 19th Wife. Both are great, maybe I will review them later. You know, with all that spare time I have ;).
My name is Kate Stowell. I’m a cancer survivor two times over! I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1997 and diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2009. Besides surviving cancer, I am a graduate of SUNY Geneseo (2004) and SUNY Binghamton (2006) and work as a registered nurse in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I have two wonderful children, a loving husband, and a sweet black lab. The purpose of this blog is to keep a record of all the ups and downs my growing family goes through both during treatment and everyday life. I welcome questions and comments. Welcome!
