Recap of #cancer side effects I’ve seen on my Twitter feed this week. Listen, #oncologists!

1) Vein access trauma. Too many patients report multiple, unsuccessful attempts. So better!

2) Long-term vein degradation due to chemo that leads to 1 above. What help is offered?

3) #neuropathy related falls and balance issues. More aggressive research and prevention —NOW!

4) #Depression, hopelessness, emotional needs. Cancer impacts the whole patient.

5) Financial support

6) Help for dying parents with minor children to support them after death.

7) Fears of caregiver loss. #stageiv patient lives hang on a thin, fragile thread of routines and doc appts and loving support. This can be lost and this fear is real!

This list is in no way complete,

But cancer sisters and brothers you are heard. Our voices and experiences need to be heard. Thank you.
