When it comes to cancer care, quality of life doesn’t always take center stage – Let’s Win Pancreatic Cancer
Let’s Win Pancreatic Cancer shared a post on LinkedIn:
“When it comes to cancer care, quality of life doesn’t always take center stage. According to Afreen Shariff, MD, targeted side-effect management that maintains a patient’s quality of life is a crucial component of treatment from start to finish.
The good news?
Doctors, caregivers, and specialists have become more attuned to the idea of supporting side effects and comorbidities, and a new virtual care option called Citrus Oncology is making it even easier for patients to get the help they need.”
Afreen Shariff, Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine, shared Let’s Win Pancreatic Cancer’s post on LinkedIn adding:
“Thank you Let’s Win Pancreatic Cancer for the opportunity to underscore the global unmet need for specialists who can manage comorbidities and toxicities and the solutions Citrus Oncology offers to solve this unmet need with the highest emphasis on patient safety and outcomes.
Like I always say: Once upon a time but not very long ago, simply surviving cancer was considered a treatment success. If you’re six feet above the ground, in a wheelchair, struggling but cancer-free, that might not be the way you want to live your life after beating cancer. We should be expanding our expectations and considering thrivership rather than survivorship.”
