From the moment I stepped into the chemotherapy infusion center for my first treatment, I was overwhelmed with nervousness and uncertainty. Aaron Calhoun was the first nurse to interact with me that day, and he truly set the tone for my entire experience. Aaron immediately recognized my anxiety and went out of his way to make me feel at ease. He took extra time to explain the entire process, not just for that day but for future visits as well. His thoughtful attention to detail and willingness to answer every question gave me a sense of control and understanding in a situation that initially felt so overwhelming.

Aaron also went above and beyond to ensure I was physically comfortable. He offered blankets and drinks and checked in frequently to see if I needed anything. But what really stood out was his ability to connect on a personal level. He quickly picked up on my sense of humor and used it to help lighten the mood, turning what could have been a difficult day into one that felt manageable, even hopeful. This was the beginning of a pattern with Aaron and the entire nursing staff—a true gift of making me feel like family.

My husband attended every visit with me, and it was clear that the staff, including Aaron, valued his presence as much as mine. Aaron made sure to stop by and say hello even on days when he wasn’t my administering nurse. These small but meaningful moments—checking in, exchanging jokes, and offering encouragement or a hug—were consistent reminders of how much he cared.

The culmination of my treatment was the day I rang the bell, surrounded by all the amazing nurses who had supported me along the way. It was an emotional moment, and having Aaron and the team there to share in that milestone made it even more special. While every nurse in the infusion center deserves recognition, Aaron Calhoun truly stands out as an exceptional caregiver. His professionalism, compassion, and personal touch not only eased the burden of treatment but made a profound difference in my journey.
