摘要

Growing up in an impoverished area of eastern Kentucky, my life was forever changed by the opportunities proffered at a work-college, particularly the desire to give back. Years later, as director of education at a pediatric orthopedic hospital, I could do the job in my sleep, but a nagging feeling of wanting to work with students prompted a career change. Landing a full-time faculty position at my alma mater, a dream come true, was a challenge I welcomed with gusto. That is, until I was diagnosed with premenopausal Stage 1 breast cancer in January 2014, during the first few months of teaching. Adjusting to academe and the cancer diagnosis left me swirling. I worried about abandoning students, job loss, who would cover my courses, or if I would return. In reality, the 6-week recovery I anticipated was nearly impossible, but did I plan for that? I sure did. Within days of the diagnosis, I underwent bilateral mastectomy surgery. Handing off my courses to other faculty members eager to help left me feeling relieved and hopeful for a quick comeback. Unfortunately, a follow-up scan revealed an enlarged lymph node under my right arm. Previous scans indicated no sentinel node involvement.
