Oncology and Nursing

            Oncology means the study of tumors and seeing this in the title of the article drew me in immediately. Martha Rogers is brilliant in the way that in the way that she views nursing because in her eyes nursing is a science and art. It takes a special individual to be a nurse. Her theory focused on nursing having to do with the integrity of people and the environment around them and that the main focus of a nurse is to promote health and wellbeing for other individuals. A unitary human is one that experiences different changes or patterns in their body that occur out of their control and are able to participate in studies knowing that changes are in fact happening to their bodies. So now that we have become familiar with this background information let us go back to the title of this article. An oncology case demonstrating the use of Roger's science of unitary human beings and standardized nursing languages" is the article I focused on. The first thought that came to my mind was how do you manage to bring to different subjects of science together and show how one has an effect on the other? .
             When dealing with tumors, different types of cancers there are certain side effects and complications that can occur causing emotional glitches in a human being. Normally this has nothing to do with the person but the way cancer responds to the treatment itself. In this case the author presented us with a woman by the name of Mrs. W and she was a 37 year old woman with a family. She has stage two breast cancer and has gone through two rounds of chemotherapy and now has to have surgery on her left breast. You would think that going through all of this would make her lose herself along the way but that was not the case at all in the beginning. The only struggle she experienced was her physical appearance and how the surgery had deeply affected that. .
             The introductory paragraphs grasped my attention by providing the audience with the story of what is going on with Mrs.
