A True Calling: Two-Time Cancer Survivor Sets Her Sights on Nursing

Although she has only been a nurse for a short time, Michelle McGovern’s life experience with cancer have given her a unique backbone for bedside care.  
There were only two things Michelle McGovern needed to do—just two little things.
The first was she write a book to let her son and daughter know exactly who she was before cancer and how cancer pushed her to strive even harder to become the woman she is today. She never wanted them to ever doubt or ever forget.
The second check mark on her list was to become a nurse.
In 2011, Michelle McGovern was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37. She was a wife to Matt McGovern and a stay-at-home mom to Tyler and Kailyn. The diagnosis of breast cancer wasn’t her first ride in the cancer rodeo. At the age of 11, McGovern was diagnosed with leukemia. Years later she still remembers the off-putting smells associated with her hospital stay.
