Hello again! Some of you may have wondered why any patient would choose to see an oncology social worker. I thought I would take this opportunity to explore the top reasons why patients come to see me in the first place. These are not in any particular order, except for the first one, so I won’t dwell on each and every one. I will just bring them up, and if any of them strikes you as information you would to hear more about, please add a comment, and we can discuss it further. 1. I would say that the top reason is the one I wrote about in my first column.
