Tip of the Week – Cancer Survivorship Programs and Nursing Care

Today, about one in twenty-two Americans is a cancer survivor, tripling the percentage seen just forty years ago. Experts attribute the change to advancements in diagnosis, treatment and care. This has led to a growth in survivorship-care programs and resources which focus on the patient’s physical and emotional needs after surviving a bout with cancer. I got the chance to sit down and chat with Dr. Jaqueline Barrientos and a Leukemia survivor named Neil. Here’s that special segment.
