Clinical Oncology: A Case Study

Being diagnosed with cancer can be very scared because the person that is been diagnosed is not prepared to receive the tremendous news. When Henrietta find out that she had cervical cancer, she did not tell anyone and went on with her day as if nothing had happened. Rebecca Skloot states that Henrietta told “Day and the children not to worry,” “A int’ nothing serious wrong, she said““Doctor’s gonna fix me right up” (Skloot 31). In the article “Keeping Cancer a Secret” author Dr. Mikkael Sekeres ask his patient “how are they [children] dealing with your diagnosis” (1). The reason he chose to not tell was that this son was away in duty on

The sneak and peek search is provided in Section 213 of the Patriot Act. A sneak-and- peek warrant allows the police to lawfully investigate in a premises and delay in notifying the suspect that they are about to conduct a search. The sneak-and- peek is referred to as counterterrorism, but it is also used in criminal investigations. That includes law enforcement sneaking in the house unnoticed utilizing the no-knock policy. The police carrying out the sneak-and- peek search often do not leave a copy of notice that they have conducted the search, including whatever they may have found during the search. The main reason why law enforcement does not notify the individual or leave a copy of the notice, is because it may jeopardize the investigation

Indian activist, Mahatma Gandhi, once said, “Love is one of the most powerful forces of the world.” “Cyrano de Bergerac” is a French play that’s about a man who falls for a girl who doesn’t love him back. “Sonnet 18”, also known as “Shall I compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?”, is one of Shakespeare's famous poems and it compares a woman to a summer day. Both brilliant allegories have many similarities in their massages despite being written almost three hundred years apart. Regardless of basic plot and word length, both stories posses surprisingly identical messages. Edmond Rostand's, “Cyrano de Bergerac”, and Shakespeare's, “Sonnet 18” both exhibit their themes of love, but while Rostand does it more through metaphors, Shakespeare does it more through personification.

A child is usually portrayed as innocent and pure. Yamila, who is now 10, has been fighting cancer ever since she was 3 years old, when she was found to suffer from ALL. Yamila, whose family lived in Puerto Rico, underwent treatment at a local hospital. But the cancer came back. This time, her doctors recommended a bone marrow transplant and referred Yamila’s family to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. St. Jude invents more clinical trials than any other children’s hospital, which is why the world looks to St. Jude for new and better ways to treat childhood cancer. At St. Jude, Yamila underwent the bone marrow transplant, with her brother serving as her donor. “My daughter began riding her bike shortly after leaving the transplant unit,” said Yahaira, Yamila's mother. “The physical therapist would come to teach her some exercises, and all she would think about was her bike” said her mother. “St. Jude is a hospital where miracles happen,” Yamila said. Yamila portrayed a sad child’s life because after she recovered from cancer she got it

In A History of God: The 4,000 Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, author Karen Armstrong introduces readers to the vast history of human spirituality and the many facets of world religion. Though a complex and often controversial subject, Armstrong dedication to factual analysis and matter-of -fact tone makes comparing and explaining religious ideologies tangible. One of the many areas of religion that Armstrong puts heavy emphasis on (as shown by the title of the book), is monotheism and how it has morphed into the three major religions known today as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Armstrong’s writing reveals that although many different theories regarding divinity and a possible creator, nothing has been documented as certain and each system of beliefs has its’ own contradictions and inadequacies.

ONCC(The Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation),is a program that evaluated nurses for oncology certification. The mission statement is to promote excellence in patient care and professional practice by validating specialized knowledge in oncology nursing and related specialties”. The vision statement on the other hand states that oncology care across the continuum will be provided by oncology certified professionals. The values of the ONCC are the corporations guiding principles and they include Integrity. The certification offered by ONCC requiers the highest level of professionalism and ethical practices and it nothing short of integral and trustworthy. This is replicated in both personal and professional relationships. The other value

The importance behind this health issue is that major advances in medicine haven’t significantly improved survivor rates nor have medical advances reduced the number of cancer cases per year in children under 18 years of age (Curtin, Minino, Anderson, 2016).“Congressman McCaul is a father of five and knows that every parent’s worst nightmare is their children receiving a life-threatening cancer diagnosis. Growing up, his childhood best friend lost his battle to cancer. It wasn’t fair then and it isn’t fair now. Congressman McCaul founded the Childhood Cancer

With this is a copy of my justification report on the subject of funding and support of research in pediatric cancer and assisting poor parents of children suffering from cancer. This statement is a review of my findings from the most recent year of working in X Cancer Specialty Center, and a separate research that other researchers have conducted outside the center. This paper will be useful in justifying the funding of extensive research in pediatric cancer, and the necessity to assist parents of the cancer patients to meet medical costs. I have completed this report at no cost to the organization, and I carried out and completed this research during off hours.

who died of cancer between 1990-1997 experienced substantial suffering at EOL and parental communication was deficient. Wolfe suggests that there is a need for extensive improvement in EOLC for children with cancer (2000).

Currently, The American Cancer Society is facing a problem with transportation that they hope to soon find a solution for nationwide. The number of people that are affected by cancer each year is growing, thus the need for transportation to and from treatment centers continues to grow as well. The Road to Recovery program is a wonderful tool that The American Cancer Society has implemented, but unfortunately it is not able to meet the ever growing demand for transportation. Due to the fact that this service is provided by volunteers, using their time, gas, and vehicles, it is not easy to secure the number of volunteers necessary to meet all of the transportation needs. This problem often leads to family members missing a substantial amount of work and putting their livelihoods in danger, patients rescheduling treatments, or even worse, missing necessary treatments. Within the local offices there is also a need for a volunteer coordinator due to the time and effort it takes to interview potential drivers, conduct background checks, secure additional insurance, and schedule the drivers with the patients. The volunteer coordinator position is completed voluntarily and is often another area of need for The American Cancer Society.

As can be seen from the first scenario, lack of knowledge can produce undue stress and harm to the patient in the future. Although still in the research phase, tissue preservation can significantly improve the lives of pediatric cancer survivors. As nurses and future practitioners, it is essential that we advocate for our patients, and protect those who are vulnerable. It is also our duty to provide holistic care by treating the patient, and not just the disease, which means understanding their unique situation, navigating appropriate considerations, and remaining up to date with current treatment options and evidence-based practice protocols. Pediatric cancer patients, such as Jenny, are not different, and deserve competent, knowledgeable, and compassionate

As established in the National Cancer Institute, “Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide for children and adolescents in America, accounting for more than 91,250 children that lose their lives to this disease” (National Cancer Institute). Cancer is not considered a terminal illness, but more of a chronic illness because of the intense treatment that the individual has to endure. As a result of this treatment the chances of survival for children suffering from pediatric cancer has increased around 80 percent. The increment in the survival rate has made it possible for many parents to not have to go through the acceptance that they are about to lose their child to a terminal illness, but have coping strategies that will make them adapt to the fear of the reoccurrence of that illness. This illness has a great impact on the patient as well as the family because not only do they have to adapt to this illness physically, but also mentally. Research has shown that there are both short term and long term effects that come into effect when the child is both in treatment and also years after the treatment. The type of cancers that these adolescents have to endure range from leukemia, brain tumors and other cancerous tumors that have appeared in recent medical studies. These tumors can either be benignant, an acute case that is non-cancerous or malignant, a cancerous case that will need intense treatment over an extended period of time.While many would say there is more of a

The most common psychological and emotional responses to cancer arise from the knowledge of life-threatening diagnosis, its prognostic uncertainty, and fear of dying. The stigma due to cancer and its consequences adds to the negative reactions to the disease. Oncology nurses can advocate for patients in health promotion and further disease prevention. A qualitative study by Chamerland et al. (2014) aimed to analyze the effect of knowledge provided by the health care workers before and after surgery of lung cancer patient. The research was conducted by a leading semi-structured interview with ten patients and eleven health care providers before and after the operation. Within the discussion, various questions were asked. The study discussed
