In addition to working as a staff nurse I have worked as a nurse practitioner, and educator, administrator, researcher, and consultant. I spend additional time volunteering for the Oncology Nursing Society (a professional organization of about 30,000 cancer nurses), the American Cancer Society, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and other professional organizations. I have written many articles on topics related to cancer and have one book called Quality of Life: From Nursing and Patient Perspectives (Jones and Bartlett), which is being prepared for a 3rd edition. I am just finishing editing another book for oncology nurses due out in late 2006. My father is a retired physician. Together we are writing a book on Tips for Communication With Your Health Care Provider (Jones and Bartlett).
My hope is to provide individuals with cancer and their caregivers/family/friends with helpful information related to cancer. I have a special interest in symptoms, management of symptoms, coping with cancer, and quality of life. What I mean by quality of life (QOL) is how is cancer or the treatment affecting your physical well-being, psychological well-being, social well-being and spiritual well-being.
I hope you will find this blog helpful, refer other individuals to the site, ask questions and share information.

Years ago I read about hospice facilities in Canada that were using Heroine as the drug of choice for end-of-life treatment. It was in its research phase. I have not heard anything about heroine use for care of the terminally ill since. Do you know of any place any place in the world that would do this. My blog is pamwatson.blogspot.com Thank you.
