Thread underscoring the need for integrated #PalliativeCare AND integrated #OncologyRehab

[Nicole L. Stout DPT, FAPTA @NicoleStoutPT]

One of the saddest things happened tonight. Actually it happens w/some frequency.

My phone rings ~6 pm from a VA number unknown to me.

I answer.
Person on the line:“ Is this Dr. Nicole Stout the cancer specialist?”
It is.

Caller: “I need your help...well it’s my sister”

This creates a huge opportunity/need for #PalliativeCare - helping people manage late & chronic effects of cancer & cancer treatment.

The majority of #survivors also have functional needs that #rehabilitation can address to improve #QOL. #Cancer rehab should be part of every survivor’s plan. @ACRMCancerRehab @AssocRehabNurse
