Audrey, thank you so much for this incredibly helpful reply for @pixiesusan! Sharing your experience with CCUS and all of this information you’ve provided…well, it’s priceless! What a lifeline for someone like Susan who is just recently diagnosed and looking for answers. Your compassion as a nurse is showing through loud and clear. 🥰

This is what I just love about Connect! It’s such a caring and supportive forum where we help take care of each other. Your post today has left me feeling so uplifted and grateful for you, for your taking the time to write such a helpful and informational reply.
Audrey, are you still active in nursing or retired?

Hi @loribmt

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad to share anything I can. I'm very grateful to have found this support network. Although my progression (fortunately) has been slow, it has been always on my mind. Recent changes have me keeping my guard up. It's really great knowing there's a network of support for all of us experiencing this disease. I hope anyone feeling frightened or alone can be comfortable reaching out to me. We're in this together. One thing I've learned is to always try to appreciate my life, my family, my friends. I try to take one day at a time. And I always ask questions... even if they seem irrelevant. Knowledge is power.

And yes, I am still working.I have been in practice as a nurse for nearly 40 years... the last 21 as a nurse anesthetist/anesthesiologist..
