All of this was happening while COVID was at a record high and everyone was learning online.
On Novemmy mom passed away from an internal bleed, not surrounded by family, and only in the care of one nurse. On NovemI had 30 minutes to say goodbye to my mom and then we had to wait for a call that she had passed. A few hours later, we received another call saying that the bleeding had gotten much worse and that the surgery had aggravated it and that we should look into hospice since there was nothing more they could do. They ended up doing a very risky surgery to try and find the bleed and the doctor was very confident that he was going to find it but then we got a call that he couldn’t find the bleed anywhere. A few days later they had found blood in the NG tube and then found out she was bleeding somewhere in her intestines. This led to the doctors putting in an NG tube hoping that it would help correct it because they couldn’t do surgery on her because of the chemotherapy. The doctor’s were very optimistic with how the treatment was going to pan out but then some complications arose. On top of already needing a kidney, in October of 2020 my mom was now in the hospital undergoing intensive chemotherapy. She had medical problems when I was growing up and in my senior year of high school she got diagnosed with End Stage Kidney failure. Since I do work for the school all of my thoughts and words are not affiliated with UMass Dartmouth, I am speaking from the heart and sharing my story.īack at the end of September (2020) my mom got diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
#DARTMOUTH TIMETABLE OF CLASS MEETINGS HOW TO#
I’ve thought about how to go about sharing what happened to me. Since her passing I have been advocating for myself like she would have done.
If you knew my mom you would know that she nonstop advocated for everyone. Today (11/4) marks one year without my mom.
