Does / Did everyone have access to a nurse navigator? Maybe called something else at your treatment center. This would be a RN guide who can help you navigate the hospital, social services, and care options.

What was your experience with a nurse navigator?

Back in August 2023, my mo went to the ER for an allergy and ended up in the hospital was SVC syndrome & B cell Lymphoma. We didn't know anything about cancer, chemo side effects, or nurse navigators.

We are halfway through chemo (3rd round of R-chop), have had three hospital stays, and lots of anxiety never knowing who to call.

We just met our nurse navigator today and she was amazing. I will definitely be calling her moving forward. Navigating the hospital system is tough, so glad we have her on our side now

Yes, but we call it something different. Anyway, she's been very helpful and I'm glad for the program ☺️
