In this episode, I welcome Sr. Perpetua Remigio, Ward Manager & Sister In Charge of the only functional radiotherapy unit in Zimbabwe. She chats about, amongst other things:
how resources are scarce for most patients as many don't have medical aid + can't afford basics eg bloods tests; underwear; cotton wool; sanitary pads (vital for those ladies who also go through cervical cancer for example); what inspired her to start her work as an oncology nurse; important nutrition + exercise tips to prevent OR recover from breast cancer; the importance of emotional, mental & spiritual support for patients and their families...and more vital info. Come sit under the shady tree with Tee!
