In Cancer Care, What is Loss and What is Victory?

Abstract:

:The challenges faced in my first year as a new oncology nurse included learning the beauty of small victories and understanding loss. Family and friends often mention how sad and hard this profession is. It is hard to explain how much I love this job to those who view it as somewhat depressing. The victories are the small moments: shortness of breath improving because the tumor shrank, attending a granddaughter's graduation, seeing a new baby born, or celebrating another birthday. Those moments keep us coming to work every day and help our patients make it another month.
