Abstract

This is a personal story of the lived experience of the authors, both nurses, who as partners face ovarian cancer. We describe the initial impact of such a diagnosis and its immediate life-changing consequences, treatment decisions and sequelae, remission and recurrence, and choices about living with a chronic illness and the ever-present specter of death. We recognize that our experience is uniquely ours, yet we believe it has meaning for all patients and caregivers, as well as the many health professionals who treat, care for, guide and comfort those who bear the burden of cancer.

摘要

这是两位护士作者作为伴侣共同面对卵巢癌的个人生活经历故事。我们描述了这种诊断的最初影响及其对生活的直接改变后果、治疗决策和后遗症、缓解和复发，以及与慢性病共存和对死亡的持续恐惧的选择。我们认识到我们的经历是独一无二的，但我们相信它对所有患者和护理人员以及许多治疗、护理、指导和安慰那些承受癌症负担的医疗专业人员都有意义。
