In 2024, it is estimated that there will be 310,720 new cases of female breast cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. According to the American Cancer Society, most of these women will receive treatment and survive for many years. Supporting a breast cancer patient throughout their journey includes a team of healthcare professionals working together to ensure a patient’s needs are met – from physical to emotional – no matter where they are in their journey. Today, we are recognizing the survivors, forever fighters, and their care teams that make all the difference. To all the doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, administrators, physician assistants, pharmacists, staff, case managers, nurse navigators, and others, thank you for everything you do each and every day. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #BreastCancerAwareness

?? **What is an Oncologist?** An oncologist is a specialized medical professional who diagnoses and treats cancer. With a deep understanding of the complexities of cancer biology, oncologists play a crucial role in managing patient care from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. Their expertise is not just about administering therapies; it also encompasses a compassionate approach to support patients and their families during one of life's most challenging journeys. ?? **Why Are Oncologists Important?** The impact of an oncologist extends far beyond the clinic. They are at the forefront of groundbreaking research, often contributing to clinical trials that pave the way for new treatments and therapies. By staying updated on the latest advancements in oncology, these specialists ensure that patients receive the most effective and personalized care possible. ?? **Collaboration is Key** Oncology is not a solo endeavor. Oncologists work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including nurses, radiologists, pathologists, and social workers, to provide comprehensive care. This collaborative approach helps to address all aspects of a patient’s well-being, from physical health to emotional support. ?? **A Call to Acknowledge Their Role** As we continue to raise awareness about cancer and its treatments, let’s take a moment to appreciate the vital role oncologists play in our healthcare system. Their dedication not only saves lives but also inspires hope in countless individuals and families. #Oncology #CancerCare #HealthcareHeroes #PatientSupport #MedicalProfessionals

https://a.co/d/8K2piCm Sharing the Amazon link to my guidebook, Empathetic Connections: A Guide to Patient-Centered Care During Radiation Therapy Empathetic care for our patients is the beacon of comfort, understanding, and empowerment on their healing journey. This guide is a useful tool for all professionals in cancer care, offering practical insights to enrich empathetic connections with their patients. It is super easy to read, not text booky with long paragraphs, and easily digestible with each chapter being broken down into short sections. The outline of it is formatted in a way that healthcare leaders can take some sections and turn it into an in-service, handout or a presentation for their staff. I have always been passionate about patient care and am super excited that I was able to create something that can help us all elevate compassionate care together. #EmpathyInCancerCare #PatientCenteredCare #AvailableOnAmazon #RadiationTherapy #Cancercare #cancercaregiver #radiationoncology
