In Her Own Words: Pam, Transplant Coordinator

In this segment, Pam Orsburn talks about her role as a transplant coordinator in the Stem Cell Transplant and Cell Therapy Unit at CTCA at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. A dedicated and compassionate clinician, Pam coordinates testing, answers patients’ questions and simply takes care of them like family.

Here, she explains how she helps coordinate the care of patients with blood cancers who receive treatment, including stem cell transplants. She also shares a memory of the first time she met Robbie, a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor.

"The first time I met Robbie, he was quiet, nervous, scared, and full of questions," recalls Pam. "I took a lot time with him. We sat, probably half an hour, and talked before we even started the IV. He was scared; he had another family member that also was diagnosed with cancer and so he was even more scared. We talked a lot and spent a lot of time together."

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
