Anna's Story When my partner and I first met with my social worker at Dana-Farber, Kelly Giles, she told us that her job was to help us stay strong and connected as a family unit. This acknowledgement of us, as a family, allowed us to focus on my diagnosis, treatment, and recovery and never once worry about being accepted for anything than what we were, a family. We were just like any other family, and that normalcy was so powerful. My oncologist, social worker, chemo nurse, and lab nurse not only made us feel comfortable and accepted but helped us find strength on the hard days and celebrated with us on the joyous days. — Anna
