My Mother has stage 4 lung cancer and was spitting up blood and in horrible pain. Irene was very patient and knowledgeable when it came to controlling pain and making my Mom feel like her health problems really mattered. Irene is a very caring person and it is obvious she enjoys being a nurse. Her compassionate care, knowledge of pain management, constant smile and attitude gave me the confidence my Mom would be made comfortable and would not be in any more pain.
