The Missing Piece of Survivorship: Cancer Prevention
1St. Joseph Hospital.
Abstract:
The patient, R.C., finished her chemotherapy for breast cancer on June 4, 2007. At 58, she was ready for a better year, putting cancer treatment behind her and beginning her new life after cancer. In 2014, I was surprised to see R.C. on the schedule for chemotherapy education for FOLFOX (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin). Colorectal cancer had been discovered during a routine colonoscopy. When I met with her, she was obviously shaken and asked, "What happened? I thought I was done with cancer." .
