\u2014 Debra Hedgepeth<\/strong>, RN, Senior Registered Nurse, Mays Cancer Center<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

By Orith Farago<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For Debra Hedgepeth, a senior registered nurse at the Mays Cancer Center, helping patients beat cancer is a personal mission.<\/p>\n

Born in Ohio, Hedgepeth wanted to become a physical therapist after graduating from high school. Because resources were scarce, she joined the Air Force, where she was assigned as a law enforcement security specialist.<\/p>\n

In 1983, Hedgepeth completed an emergency medical technician course outside her Air Force appointment but was transferred to England, where the course did not meet the country\u2019s certifications. While in England, Hedgepeth\u2019s daughter was born in 1986 and Hedgepeth left the Air Force to raise her. When her son Steven was born in 1987 with multiple disabilities, her family moved back to San Antonio, where Steven was ultimately diagnosed with Russell-Silver syndrome with learning disabilities, a rare disorder with restricted intrauterine growth and poor growth after birth.<\/p>\n

Today, Steven is doing well, but when he was first diagnosed, Hedgepeth\u2019s calling to medicine resurfaced.<\/p>\n

A calling that grew louder<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy interest in the medical field grew again, so when [Steven] went back to school full time, when he was five years old, that\u2019s when I applied for nursing school,\u201d Hedgepeth said. She began working as a licensed vocational nurse and later obtained her credential as a registered nurse. After being an emergency room nurse for six years, Hedgepeth was drawn to oncology after her brother, Gary, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Gary received chemotherapy at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for five years until he went to hospice. On Jan. 3, 2000, at age 42, Gary passed away.<\/p>\n

Today, Hedgepeth helps eradicate the cruel disease that took her brother\u2019s life while lifting the spirits of patients who are in cancer\u2019s merciless wake. Hedgepeth, among the Mays Cancer Center\u2019s longest-employed nurses, was working at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center when it merged with UT Health San Antonio in 2007. She currently serves among 12 nurses at the Mays Cancer Center\u2019s infusion center, where she administers both conventional chemotherapy and clinical trials to patients with cancer.<\/p>\n

Whether administering chemotherapy, clinical trial medications, hydration or medication for side effects, the nurses at Mays Cancer Center\u2019s infusion center provide compassionate care and support. This includes keeping a careful eye on patients and noticing even the slightest nuances, such as the onset of new symptoms or a subtle change in a patient\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaregivers are instrumental in the fight against cancer. Their love, support, assistance and caring have made the difference in a patient surviving or succumbing to cancer,\u201d said Hedgepeth.<\/p>\n

The wonder of clinical trials<\/strong><\/p>\n

When conventional therapies aren\u2019t enough, clinical trials can provide patients a lifesaving option. The Mays Cancer Center participates in some of the nation\u2019s most respected clinical trial networks. Eligible patients can receive access to leading care options through the center, often years before they become widely available. Since Hedgepeth began working at the Mays Cancer Center, she has seen some significant advances, from targeted therapies and immunotherapies to monoclonal antibodies that solicit the body\u2019s immune system to fight diseases like cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese therapies are often more effective with fewer side effects,\u201d she said. IV therapies have also experienced advances, Hedgepeth said, adding that they are now available in an injection form, which cuts patient time in the treatment area.<\/p>\n

Hedgepeth recalled one young patient who was initially on conventional chemotherapy and traveled from California to participate in a clinical trial for her cancer. Because she did not have much money, Southwest Airlines flew her to San Antonio for free. After being stabilized, she went to nursing school, became a registered nurse, and is working in California. She\u2019s still on oral chemotherapies, and while her cancer is not in remission, it is controlled, said Hedgepeth.<\/p>\n

\u201cCancer research is the key to a cure for cancer,\u201d Hedgepeth said. \u201cClinical trials have given so many people more time to enjoy life.\u201d<\/p>\n

A relentless cancer warrior<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Hedgepeth, being a cancer warrior has become second nature, and she relishes every moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fight this evil disease called cancer that steals the lives of courageous, hopeful and loving people of all ages and races with no regrets,\u201d said Hedgepeth. \u201cI feel like I have the best job in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
