A Cancer Survivor & Fighter's Blog
Just in case anyone who wanders onto the blog is newly diagnosed and panicking trying to find a doctor, I have two great resources I thought I would put out there (I found these on the thyca website):
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists
I was happy when I checked that my doctor is members of both societies…not a guarantee that they are any good, but at least they are interested enough to keep up on the literature!
In other medical news I am learning tons about the ins and outs of Tricare. I will definitely be a better nurse and a better consumer after all the education in discharge planning and insurance!
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!
