About
I'm a 58 yo nurse with acute care experience in PACU and ED and care management experience with Medicaid and Medicare. Currently I am a PhD student at the University of Connecticut and my research topic is men with breast cancer. Not only do I have stage 4 breast cancer with bone mets, my young male cousin also died of this in his late 30's, my research is dedicated to him.
