OT's role in cancer treatment Part II

If you ever known or met someone with a cancer diagnosis, you know that Cancer is one of those things that affects not only the individual with the diagnosis but the whole family. It is needless to say that it impacts how people go about their everyday lives. With that said, it should not be unheard of that occupational therapist is on the team to help someone with cancer given that we help people get back to their everyday lives. In this week's episode we bring on Vanessa Yanez, OTR/L. on to the show to discuss her role as an occupational therapist who works with people who have and have had a cancer diagnosis. This may not be the most popular topic, but it is one that definitely needs to be discussed since it is one of those topics many evade and avoid. If this is a topic of interest, then please come hear what our thoughts are on the topic and see what you can do to play a role in this space as an occupational therapist or even occupational therapy student. We hope you enjoy the show!
