Rachel – Forth Worth
Rachel was recently diagnosed, as she put off seeing a doctor because her job had very limited health care benefits. Rachel was on a floor of old people, and therefore didn’t leave her room during her hospital stays. She had to figure out how to deal with her situation alone, and tried to find humour in the little things to keep positive.
