I need to get this out of my chest because I'm still annoyed by this, but I am still seriously furious by one of the nurses' behaviours that worked here. When I was in the hospital back in September due to auto-immune diseases, one of the nurses came up to me and was telling me about this cancer unit while I was waiting for my neck catheter to be readjusted. I was still on drugs so I was confused about it and my parents were still in the room at the time, and I just thought this is where I'd get my chemotheorpy unit, so I respectfully listened because I didn't want to me rude. After a while, she then came back to correct the mistake, but instead of politely telling me that there was an error, she scolded me and acted like it was my fault. I was in a very stressful and depressing situation and this moment ruined my whole day and made me upset, even my parents were furious when she took it out on me. Why did she go to me instead of my parents? I was only sixteen and still heavily on medication, I was so confused and upset by all of it. I'm sorry, don't think an apology would ever fix what just happened. It was so terrible and it didn't help that I was already in a stressful and depressing situation where I had missed so much school. I was completely depressed after the incident and I just wanted to leave the hospital... I just want to move on from it and I'm so glad finally got it off my chest.

The cancer Society was a Godsend for me when, about 2 years ago, I had to receive treatment in Wellington for my 3rd go-round with cancer. I was living in Paraparaumu at the time, and for 6 weeks, 5 times a week, I was driven to and from my appointments by delightful people. As I said, a Godsend. (Happy to say, it was all worth it! I'm doing really well now.) 😇
