Oncology Nurses
Cancer care could not exist without oncology nurses. There are experienced, skilled, wonderful nurses who work for years, sometimes for decades, on in-patient oncology floors, and there are equally terrific nurses who stay just as long in the ambulatory areas. Since I work in the ambulatory/out patient world, those are the nurses whom I know best.
Living with an Ostomy
Cancer treatment inevitably brings body changes. Some, like hair loss due to chemotherapy, are temporary (although it surely does not feel that way at the time), and some are permanent. Surgical changes usually fall in that category. A missing breast does not regenerate, and a reconstructed breast is never quite the same. Sometimes breast reconstructions fail. Any organ that is removed is gone for good, and sometimes it is more obvious than others.
Guidelines for Post-Surgery Activities
Use your transplant hospitalization as an opportunity to quit smoking if you are a smoker. Our behavioral health team offers a smoking cessation program to help you quit.

Not only does smoking increase your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer, it can directly damage your new organ transplant.
