nia_kantorkaSome awesome things that have happend today:
1. A few weeks ago our little daughter (nearly 4 years old) told us, she won't get rid of her nappies before she would go to school (which will be in 2 or 3 years). Can you imagine the look on our faces?
So, I was very pleased when the nursery nurses told us she spent her hours at the kindergarten without nappies two weeks ago. But she always wanted a nappy as soon as we arrived at home. And today *tada* she's spent her whole day without a nappy, even at home and on the playground. I'm so proud of our little one.
2. Ok. To be honest today hasn't been the best day ever. I'm really tired and my throat is starting to feel sore, so I'm going to bed early and catch up on some sleep. Yes, I'm always saying that and never do as I say, but I'm just finishing this post and than I'll be off (and I write the rev I need to write badly some other time). You see, I'm getting easily sidetracked which is a f**king bad sign...
Back to the good stuff. Mr. Kantorka knows me well and is very carying tonight. He buttered my toast during dinner and has just brought me a hot rooibos tea. Yes, he's gorgeous and mine. ;)
3. Self-praise isn't the best trait ever but I really did a good job at work today. For those who don't know. I'm working at the German Cancer Information Service (everone can phone or e-mail us cancer related questions) and I'm working at the so called 'knowledge management' team as a medical editor. So I go and translate guidelines, publications or other complicated 'med speak' into comprehensible texts. If you don't want to read more about such a sad topic, please stop here. I don't want to offend anyone.
My topics are lung and other thoracic cancers and complementary and alternative medicine (very different things which I really like). At the moment a lot of my team colleagues are on holiday and so I had to do some research about some questions for an individual patient with another form of cancer. As it was not about my topic but about someone else's, it took me more than two days to answer all the questions properly. You need to understand the anatomy of the patient's cancer and the special treatment it needed before you can help. And though cancer is treated with one or more of these therapy forms (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy) it differs between types and cancer stadium and a lot of other things.
Today I finished my research and wrote a synopsis about it and ... now I really hope this patient can use my stuff to talk more informed with the physicians and can ask all the important questions. I love my work because it is wonderful to help other people, but also because I like science and writing and, yes, I need to do both to be good at my job. :D

And now, drink your tea and sleep and wake up healthy! That's an order, yes, it is! :-) *glomps*

Date: 2014-09-04 08:52 pm (UTC)Cancer Information Service sounds very important and needed. Wish we have something like that here, in US. I know first hand how frustrating it can be, to deal with this diagnosis and try to find information, especially, concerning alternatives. My hubby and I literally had to research everything by ourselves when I was first diagnosed.
So, I just wanted to tell you how wonderful, amazing and really, really important your job is. Hurrah for you doing it so brilliantly!
Hopefully, you'll feel better tomorrow.
Hugs

There is a Cancer Information Service in the US. I know it for sure because our's was invested after its example. Yes, here it is.
But, please, if you are ever in need again, send me a message. It doesn't matter to us where someone is from. *hugs*
