Great talk from Toby Campbell: communicating immunotherapy toxicities to patients
😞 Current pt info often overwhelming
😞 Toxicities unpredictable
✅ Use both verbal & visual approaches
✅ Simple figures
✅ How to describe risk + symptom
✅ Take photo & send to pt

@BookOncology#oncbcdeath Very timely. She does mention the pandemic in ‘rabbit the last words’. She has a lot of descriptions of death. Natural disasters, man made, disease. Some gentle some very harrowing. The pandemic ticks a lot of the descriptions.
@BookOncology#oncbcdeath I am not sure my thoughts changed. I felt very sad for him. I wasn’t clear how much his relationship with death stemmed from his tragic childhood and how much was from the mental health condition. They may be intertwined I guess.
@BookOncology#oncbcdeath No, it hasn’t. But I liked some of the descriptions with death being a woman, life giver and life taker. Weary, constant. Something or someone that is always there but invisible.
@BookOncology#oncbcdeath I struggled with it. I think I probably did what one shouldn’t do. I rushed through the poetry bits. I admit the words flowed. It’s just not my favourite style.
@BookOncology#onbcdeath disorientating, resonating, sad. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I found the change from prose to poetry and between characters a bit disorientating. Parts of it resonated with me.
