About Paige Yahya, RNC iRNPA

---

My journey into healthcare consulting was when I cared for both of my parents during each of their cancer battles. When my mother was  diagnosed in  2019 with stage 4 lung cancer, she was understandably scared and confused on how to navigate her treatments and side effects; she needed me to support and guide her...let me tell you I learned a lot in the year I cared for her. Even as an experienced clinical RN there was still a learning curve.     

A couple months after she passed, my step-father was also diagnosed with cancer.  I took the knowledge I gained from helping my mother, and dove into help  guide and support him through his battle. He had to overcome multiple problems, from treatment-induced issues to surgical complications and hospitalizations. All the while I was in contact with all his providers and helped coordinate his care. We began incorporating integrative and functional oncology medicine  into his care and slowly  saw improvement in his condition. I truly feel that by incorporating integrative medicine into his life and slowly changing his lifestyle choices, his side effects from treatments have been reduced and his quality of life improved from what it was previously. I am still very much involved in his care today. 

I have learned so much from being an active part of their journeys; although I wish they would never have to go through these experiences, I feel honored to have made a difference in some way and it gave me the desire to make a positive difference in others’ lives as well. With my 16 years experience as a clinical RN, it makes me even more qualified to help others make well-informed decisions about their healthcare.
