Today's guest is Renee' Herman. She has been a nurse for over 40 years and has spent the last 6 as a Nurse Navigator for breast cancer patients. She was also diagnosed with breast cancer this past December.
We talk all about what nurse navigators do, how important they are during cancer care, and the blessing of their support and care at diagnosis, throughout the treatment journey, and also into survivorship.
Renee' gave lots of resources throughout our conversation. Here are a few:
National Cancer Institute: https://www.cancer.gov/
American Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.org/
https://www.breastcancer.org/
Triage Cancer: https://triagecancer.org/
National Comprehensive Cancer Network: https://www.nccn.org/
Each state should have its own cancer coalition. Here is the link for the Colorado Cancer Coalition: https://www.coloradocancercoalition.org/ You can Google Cancer Coalition for your own state
The book she gives to all her patients is The Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook by Judy Kneece. You can order it here: https://www.amazon.com/Breast-Cancer-Treatment-Handbook-10th/dp/1886665176
