头颈癌存活

2019年7月，劳里·伯杰被诊断出患有头颈癌。“实际上，我是在7月25日被确诊的，所以那天我的世界一直在转。我以为我永远不会骑摩托车了。”劳里的治疗包括37个疗程的放疗和9个疗程的化疗。“这是困难的。这太可怕了。我得到了一个护士导航员，她叫Veena，她帮助我把所有的事情都集中起来。维娜能够指导我，带我去我需要去的地方，见我需要见的人。”Lee Health的护士导航员确保患者了解他们的治疗方案，并知道哪些资源可以帮助他们度过癌症之旅。沙玛说:“我记得我和她见面的那天，她几乎哭了，我握着她的手，对她说，你会挺过去的，只要有信心，不要失去希望。” With Veena’s help, Laurie remained positive through her cancer treatment—determined to fulfill her dream of riding a motorcycle. “That was my big push sometimes, I’m going to ride a bike one day. And I do have one now. You never know how strong you really are until you have to be. I wouldn’t’ have been able to do this without her. It just makes it a lot easier when you have someone walking through this with you,” Laurie said. A program designed to inform and support patients through their cancer journey.
