Facts Matter for Patients with Cancer During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Says One Advocate

The following is an excerpt from curetoday.com

While patients with cancer continue to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to seek out scientific facts and avoid the misinformation and noise that comes with a rapidly evolving news landscape, says Raymond Foundation co-founder Martha Raymond.

CURE® recently spoke with Raymond about how patients and their caregivers are feeling the pressure of navigating the global pandemic while also maintaining their sanity. When asked what advice she would give this population as they try to make sense of things, she stressed the importance of evidence-based information and a clear channel of communication with one’s care team.
