Infusion is a big part of where treatment begins. We make sure everything is in place and correct for each patient’s course of treatments. Helping our patients also includes education, and sometimes means sitting with them and listening and holding their hand. It’s a gift and an honor to care for these patients. I’ve grown as a person observing the amazing strength and resilience of our patients.
