@NECancerAus , something like this for an Australian context would be so helpful for patients with #phaeochromocytoma and #paraganglioma

@sonialf Oh my God! This is horrifying!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@LaceyJudith @COBLH @normanswan Hope you're feeling better soon!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@sonialf Hope you're feeling better soon!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@sonialf So much!!!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@M_Jefford That's an impressive waggle!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@benbravery @drvyom @3RRRFM Thanks Ben - I just finished reading your book this afternoon - I have so many things to think about!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@sonialf @DarylTractor Yum!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@benbravery ...I do need to cry and allow myself to grieve at times, but the rewards for me are the satisfaction and joy of really getting to know and connect with people - properly- and people really are incredible!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@benbravery I've been a nurse for over 30 years. The day I don't feel moved when I witness human suffering or tragedy, has to be the day I leave. How can I be effective if I can't allow myself the discomfort of imagining just a little of their world? I may as well be a robot

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@MarcDiocera @EAUNurses @ANZUNS_Urology @gu_onc @PeterMacCC Oh congratulations, Marc!

[Kate Wakelin @NurseWakelin]

@benbravery I wonder what Senior Doctor 1's patients (or nurses) would say...
