In 2015 I was diagnosed w/ Ovarian Cancer stage 3C and BRCA. In 2020 it came back as Mets throughout thoracic lymph nodes. In March it came back as a brain tumor w/ MLS & multiple herniation locations. Today I went back to work as a clinical organ donor coordinator. @ThanksCancer

@nursekelsey I have worked in a few hospitals that have a "No one dies alone" policy. It is such a powerful statement about care that the hospital does what it takes to find someone to be there in those situations. Nurses are not always able to be that for their patients. Thank you.

@AbortionChat No one. We can't pursue organ donation on anyone under 4kg or 36 weeks gestation, and even then it happens at the request of the family in the event of a non-survivable birth defect, after birth. I have worked in organ donation for over 10 years and seen it happen twice.
