WOMEN DOCTORS, PLEASE HELP!!!

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

To whom it may concern,

Hi, my name is Marjorie Nguyen. I’m currently enrolled at Emory
University and currently facing the decision of  whether or not medicine
will be part of my future.  

The reason for my doubt lies in the fact that I’m a WOMAN who wants both
a family and a career.

Is this possible? Are there any women doctors out there who has a
successful career AND a good family life? Is it possible to be both a
dedicated doctor, a loving mother and wife? Is it realistic to want both?
How do you manage to juggle both of these very demanding full-time jobs?  

I think that I will love medicine. It involves two things that I value
greatly: the opportunity to learn, and the ability to use that knowledge
to help people. I have wanted to be a doctor for a very long time.
However, the question of whether my gender would be a hinderance has only
recently crossed my mind when I heard about some women who went through
medical school only to give up medicine in order to have a successful
family life.

Is this a common story in the world of medicine for women?

If you are a woman doctor (or if you know of any success stories),
please, PLEASE write to me (personally if possible). I would greatly
appreciate any comments or words of wisdom on the matter.

My email address is : mngu…@emory.edu

Thankyou in advance.

PANCREATIC CANCER

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

My friend’s mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  After
exploratory surgery, she was told that the cancer had mestastasized (but
not to the liver)
and was considered inoperable.  She was told that she can measure her
life in months rather than years.  Is there anyone out there who has
survived pancreatic cancer and can advise me where to look?

Medullary Breast Cancer

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Does anyone have any information on Medullary Breast Cancer. My wife was
just diagnosed and has had a lumpectomy. She is 31, in good health
(otherwise), and just had our third child (the 3 pregnancies were in a
6.5 year span).

She has not yet undergone the procedure to determine if nodes are
positive or negative.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Merkel Cancer

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

A few months ago my father was diagnosed with Merkel Cancer.  The location
was above his upper lip.  He has had it removed along with the lymph nodes
on that side. He has spent the past 5 weeks in radiation treatments.
Needless to say his spirits are down.  I’ve been trying to locate
information on this type of cancer, but I haven’t been very successful.
There appears to be little available.  If anyone can tell me where I can
receive more info. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Scott

on him in January and I wanted to check into Weil’s direction with someone
