Ashley’s Answer

I work with a pharmcy that sets up orders for delivery for medication for oncology,,,and it takes a strong person. The first person I had that I called that passed on was tough. It is going to take a lot of not cry and some patients do not tell the truth on how they take care of their body. It is important to have a close relationship with all your patients, but know to not bring it home or it will affect you mentally.
