The Cancer52 CNS Report

Through their work, Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) can bring invaluable support and humanity to the treatment and care of their patients.

To demonstrate the importance of their work, and how it can improve the quality of life for patients diagnosed with the rare and less common cancers, Cancer52¹ have produced a report:

“Clinical Nurse Specialists working with people with rare and less common Cancers.  Some personal perspectives from nurses and patients.”

Lynne McCallum, a CNS for people with HPB cancers and neuroendocrine tumours, is one of the nurses highlighted in the report. Her patient, Matt Schofield, who was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma at the age of 41, talks about his life, and how important Lynne’s support is to him and to his family.  (see pages 12 – 14 of the report)
