We were not sure how to talk about how the "C" word was affecting us with co-workers, how the constant worry and uncertainty made it hard to focus or plan the way we used to. In fact, we are still learning how to talk about that. But we have learned some lessons along the way.
The holidays are a time of joy and celebration; a time to reunite with family and friends and revel in tradition. However, the news of a cancer diagnosis can halt holiday cheer.
Occupational therapists (OT) are part of the rehabilitation team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. We focus on assisting patients with optimizing their functional independence.
