In Her Own Words: Fran, Care Manager

In this brief video, care manager Fran Boston discusses her role in caring for patients who undergo cancer treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Eastern Regional Medical Center. This experienced nurse shares how she helps to make the experience of treating for cancer less stressful for patients and their loved ones. She communicates medical information to them in layman’s terms, addresses their concerns and answers their questions:

“We’re our patients’ single point of contact for anything that they need—24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re the ones that a lot of the information flows into to get to the patient. We’re the ones that patients contact first in order to ask questions and to get information. We help them to navigate through the system, because the healthcare system, especially when you are receiving treatment for something like cancer, can be really confusing. We really minimize that for the patient and the caregiver by making things as simple as possible.”

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.
