Description
The Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS’s) 40th anniversary stimulated our reflections on the professional and personal benefits of caring for people with cancer. We wanted to share a story about an oncology nurse support group that has continued to meet every six weeks for 40 years. Initially, we were all 30–49 years old and are now 70–89!
