I AM 59 AND I WORK IN NYU MEDICAL CENTER AS A NURSING ASSIT I WAS GOING TO NURSING SCHOOL BUT LEFT IT, AFTER WORKING AT NYU FOR 25 YEARS I NEED A NEW JOB. I WORK ALSO WITH HORSES AND DOGS ALL RESCUES AND LOVE IT, SO NOW I AM TRYING TO GET INTO VET TECH SCHOOL DUE TO THE FACT I AM GETTING OLD AND DUMMER, SO WHEN I SAW YOUR SITE ON THE ABOUT PAGE, I WANT TO JUST SAY YOUR A WONDERFUL PERSON AND I BET A GREAT VET. WHEN I WAS 18 I GOT A TUMOR IN MY NECK AND I WAS SCARED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR UNTIL IT COMPLETELY PUSH MY HEAD OVER TO THE SIDE. I WENT TO HIM AND WAS IN THE HOSPITAL THE NEXT DAY. I WENT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF TESTS AND BIOPSIES AND IN THE END I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE CANCER AND WOULD NEED CHEMO AND RADIATION. IN THOSE DAYS IT WAS LIKE KILLING A FLY WITH A SHOTGUN. THE CHEMO WAS ROUGH AND I HAD 35 TREAMENTS BACK AND FRONT ON THE NECK AND SHOULDER WITH RADIATION FOR 3 AND A HALF YEARS. I WAS JUST WAITING FOR IT TO END WHEN THEY SAID I COULD HAVE TIME OFF, WELL BEING DUMB I DIDNT COME BACK, BUT GUESS WHAT DID! RIGHT, SO I WAS RETREATED AND FINALLY GOT THE OK AND THEY PUT TIME FURTHER APART -- 1 MONTH THE 3 THEN 6 FINALLY THEY SAID DON'T COME ANYMORE ONLY IF YOU FEEL ANYTHING NEW! THAT WAS IN 1972 SO I GUESS I AM OK TODAY. I HAVE A SCREWED UP SHOLDER AND OF COURSE MY PAITENTS ALWAYS SAY WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU YOU'RE CROOKED -- I TELL THEM SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. MY MESSAGE IS THIS: KEEP ON KEEPING ON AND PRAY A LOT ENJOY YOUR WORK AND YOU KNOW THE MAGIC THAT ANIMALS BRING TO US THEY ARE PURE LOVE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK FOR AND RECIEVE. I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GREAT SURGEON. YOUR ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS, GOD BLESS RICH W.
