Yes, this week has been so stressful and depressing week for me and for my family.

First off, my father was rushed in the hospital due to dizziness. He undergone colonoscopy the next day of his hospital admission due to his health background which is excreting bloody stool for years now. Unfortunately, the most feared came out, he have a rectal mass. It looked malignant. We were advised to have him take a radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy. The costs of these were too expensive. My family can’t afford it. And that’s what my family is worried about. We want to help my father. I, for one wants to give the best treatments for him if only we could afford it.

Good thing my work as an OR nurse pave the way to know surgeons and anesthesiologists in our institution. They helped us with what we’re going through for a minimal fee. They’re a blessing! I then realized my purpose why I became an OR nurse despite of not wanting it in the first place. My profession helped my father and my family. Truly God does have plans for us. And I am thankful to Him despite of the storm that we’re facing now.  I know He’s with us in battling this. I just hope we could give these treatments to him as soon as possible so he’ll be totally cured from cancer.

Secondly, the day my father was admitted was also the day my boyfriend and I broke up. I find it unreasonable considering it was just a petty fight. But with the circumstances my family is facing now, I can’t focus dwelling on my personal problem. Though I’m quite hurt but I know I’ll handle this maturely than my previous relationship.
