Thoracic cancers are tumours that occur within the chest (thorax). They include small-cell and non-small cell lung cancers, mesothelioma and thymic cancers.
I have over 18 years’ experience as an oncology nurse with a Masters in Cancer Nursing and Public Health. I am committed to improving outcomes for lung cancer patients and coordinate the care of those with suspected thoracic malignancy, early and advanced stage disease. I work closely with the multidisciplinary team. I am an active member of national and international thoracic cancer nursing organisations and am the NSW steering committee representative for the Australian and New Zealand Lung Cancer Nurses Forum (ANZLCNF).
