In her long nursing career, Christine Thomas’s excellence nursing is exemplified in her independent management of breast cancer patients with regard to use of oral chemotherapy. She provides comprehensive support to my patients including preparing calendars, troubleshooting side effects, coordinating insurances and ensuring adherence to labs and treatment… a daunting task indeed. Our cancer center maintenance is dependent on her hard work. A mother daughter patient combination comes to mind, who I see regularly in the clinic. Their words to me were, "I'll wait for Chris”. All my patients depend on and trust her.
