Megan Wolfe’s ultimate plan is to work with children who have cancer.<\/p><\/div>\n

A few weeks before graduating from high school in 2016, Megan Wolfe was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma.<\/p>\n

While going through chemo to fight the cancer, a device used to deliver the medication caused her heart to rocket to about 280 beats per minute. Normal rhythm is 60 to 100. Doctors had to stop her heart\u2014twice\u2014to keep her from dying.<\/p>\n

In December 2016, to stop the breakneck heartbeats, doctors ran a catheter through an artery in her leg and into her heart to burn off cells causing its breakneck, deadly pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then in January, I started at UTC,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

On May 7, five years after her first college class, Wolfe will walk across the McKenzie Arena stage to receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I will be overwhelmed with emotions,\u201d she said. \u201cDefinitely pride for overcoming the obstacles in nursing school and the pandemic as well as with my health adversities. I will also feel grateful for having this opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of all, I will feel excited and ready for the future and am ready to use my knowledge and skills to help others.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dealing with cancer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When undergoing chemo and radiation to fight cancer, she suffered many of the common effects of the treatments.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it was definitely awful,\u201d she said. \u201cI did lose all my hair, but I didn\u2019t have as much nausea as I was anticipating, like you always hear about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mostly it was never-ending fatigue, a lot of pain and the tingling and weakness in her fingers and toes from neuropathy.<\/p>\n

Four years after defeating cancer, one effect lingers\u2014memory loss. Some moments during her cancer treatments just aren\u2019t there at all. Maybe that\u2019s not such a bad thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the things that happened during all of that are kind of foggy,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople tell me what happened here or there. There are pictures and stuff like that I\u2019ve seen. But then and now I do have brain fog.\u201d<\/p>\n

That mental cloudiness affected her studies at UTC, she said, but not enough to prevent her from finishing. She just had to find ways to work around the hazy moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to work a little harder,\u201d she said. \u201cStudy a little harder to remember things. Write things down a lot more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolfe said Angel Collier, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing, was her mentor and helped her navigate the difficult road to graduation. Collier had a different take.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may have been her mentor, but I learned so much from her and her experience that I felt like I was being mentored by her,\u201d Collier said. \u201cShe never asked for any extra pity or sympathy. She just did what she needed to do to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Career plans<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With a full-time job at Children\u2019s Hospital at Erlanger lined up to start in June, her ultimate goal is to work with children who have cancer. Her personal experiences led her in that direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had known that I wanted to be a nurse before that but, while I was going through treatment, I saw how the nurses and the doctors took care of me and my family and what an inspiration it was to see,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always tried to look at cancer as kind of a blessing and a curse. It was awful and terrible at the time, but it inspired me. It showed me what I wanted to do. I probably would\u2019ve gotten to this avenue, but maybe not as fast or been as passionate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching children who have cancer is a tough gig, but Collier said Wolfe\u2019s personal experience with cancer will help her, calling it \u201ca double-edged sword.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019ll be using her experience to actually be able to empathize and draw connections with her patients,\u201d Collier said. \u201cThey\u2019ll be able to see that she\u2019s come through it and she\u2019s survived and now she\u2019s thriving. I see her as an inspiration to her future patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she\u2019ll also have more feelings because of what she went through herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dealing with personal emotions is something nurses in any medical concentration must handle, Wolfe said. During her nursing school clinicals working in various medical departments at Erlanger Hospital, she learned to separate her emotions from the job.<\/p>\n

Mostly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had to do work in end-of-life care with adults in the ICU,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt seems like one of those things where I\u2019m able to, you know, have a good cry about it, then move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll know that I did the best that I could. At the end of the day, that\u2019s all you can do. Always treat them like you\u2019re the last person that\u2019s ever going to see them.\u201d<\/p>\n
