Intro To Healthcare Speakers

Hi Everyone,
I really liked the two speakers we had at Intro to Healthcare lastnight. The speakers both had or still have an opsticle in which they have to overcome in their everyday lives. Our first speaker had an allergy to latex. She talked about her everyday battle of keeping latex free. There were so many things that didn't even occur to me, in which we use everyday, that have rubber in them. Some everyday utinsels she has to be careful with are shoes, hairbrush, toothbrush, tv remotes, and eating out because restraunts often prepare their food with rubber gloves.
Our other speaker had mouth cancer. She told us the story from the day she found the growth under her tongue, to the day she was told she had cancer, the radiation process, and her road to recovery. Just hearing her story was very was enough to touch our hearts. I have heard cancer stories before, but this truly topped them off. It is said that when you have been free of cancer for five years it won't come back. She is about to reach her fourth year. I ask that we all keep her in our prayers.
