Day 7

As my time at Waverly Oncology is coming to an end, Dr. Graham is making sure that I get to absorb as much information as possible before having to depart. When working with Mrs. Blumenthal, I first worked with a patient who had many health problems, including cancer. He had been a heavy drinker and smoker for about 30 years and the effects unfortunately caught up to him. From what we had seen, he was lucky to be alive. I saw a few other patients with Mrs. Blumenthal but was called into a room where Dr. Graham was working. In this room he was seeing an 83 year old patient with a heavily enlarged liver (due to cancer). Dr. Graham told me where to place my hands and I was able to feel the liver tumor!
