Great question, Judy! An oncology patient is someone who is receiving treatment for cancer, either from an oncologist or a cancer care team. This can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other types of treatment. #oncology #cancerpatient
In addition to receiving treatment, oncology patients often need support from their healthcare team to manage the side effects of cancer and its treatment. This can include things like pain management, nutritional support, and emotional counseling. #oncology #cancercare
It's important to remember that being an oncology patient doesn't just mean receiving treatment for cancer. It also means being part of a larger community of patients, survivors, and advocates who are working together to fight this disease. #oncology #cancersupport
