Cancer Survivorship 101: What To Expect From a Survivorship Visit

"What To Expect from a Survivorship Visit", with Abigail Ciampa, MSN, APRN-BC
Due to the quarantine, we had to cancel our annual in-person Cancer Survivorship 101 event that was planned for June, 2020. Instead, we created a series of video lectures presented here on our website and our KZbin page featuring the speakers that were to be highlighted at the event.

My name is Abby Ciampa and I am a nurse practitioner in the Survivorship Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Throughout my 17 year career at DFCI, I have cared for patients across all disease centers. I am passionate about caring for patients at any stage of their cancer journey. As a provider in the Survivorship Clinic I feel lucky to be able to ensure that my patient’s care post-cancer remains comprehensive and complete. I attended Mount Holyoke College for my undergraduate studies and the MGH Institute of Health Professions for my graduate work. I live in the metro west area of Boston with my husband and three children.
Survivor Journeys has been a non-profit organization since March, 2015. Its origins, began during the year-long medical quarantine Dr Jay Burton lived through after his stem cell transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia which ended in late October 2011. Dr Burton’s emotional and social support experiences prompted speaking engagements about cancer survivorship. The community interest generated from these talks, as well as the lack of emotional and support services for cancer survivors in our region, led to the creation of Survivor Journeys.

No one knows about this at DFCI. Never mentioned in clinics. Sounds great, but basically puffery.
