Although I have only personal experience, I have assisted with the Chemotherapy and Hospice care of children and adults. I have six years personal experience assisting with my own son's chemotherapy care. He is a childhood cancer survivor of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I can assist in monitoring the daily medication protocol for cancer patients; monitoring liquid intake and nourishment requirements, and acting with vigilance in observation of terminally ill cancer patients. I also worked as the first contact to parents for a support group for parents of newly diagnosed children's cancer patients in Clatsop County (Oregon). I worked as the live-in hospice caregiver to a family member (the 6 final months of her life). I have also worked in direct contact with family members making final plans for loved ones. I have been professionally employed as a planner assistant, making final arrangements for hospice patients, in the final stages of life.
