Re: Need Advice n!!!

I'm suspecting oncology nurses are more tuned into the side effect issues so they could be a great resource in that area. Conversely, I bet a nurse could benefit from seeing what patients come up with and come across. The ever-expanding/oft unspoken strategies to deal with hand foot syndrome come to mind.
If well connected, or even simply through having a med credential, an an onco-nurse could be a valuable liaison into hierarchies most can't access.
