Cath Lab Nurse Zuzana has been on her own health journey outside the 9-5 at TPCH, recently celebrating being cancer-free after going through breast cancer. 💝
After being given the 'all-clear', Zuzana shared how appreciative of the care and dedication she received, including deciding to grow her hair and shave it to raise over $2000 for breast cancer awareness with all donations going to the BreastScreen clinic in Chermside where her cancer was detected. 🪒👩🦲
"When you face the results, your heart and your head stop communicating," Zuzana says.
"It is such a shock, and then you have people in the clinic who organise everything and make appointments with specialists, so you don't have to worry about it.
"I am eternally grateful for everything, and as a healthcare professional, I do appreciate the support and gentle care given to me in this clinic."
👏 #ShoutoutSaturday to our BreastScreen team and we're happy for you Zuzana!
