Each month as part of our My Blue Dots Human Touch Series, we are featuring members of Stanford Radiation’s oncology team and sharing their thoughts about the important work they do with patients everyday. We are thrilled to feature Ashley, a Nurse Coordinator, whose role is to serve as the key point of contact for her patients as they navigate their cancer treatment process.

Ashley came to Stanford Hospital because of its ability to provide patients with the latest research and clinical trials from research driven by Stanford University. She was inspired to join oncology because Ashley’s own mother worked in the healthcare field and Ashley grew up around the hospital and was fascinated by the questions science could answer. As an oncology nurse, Ashley saw she could have a direct impact on her patients by educating them about what to expect and how to manage cancer treatments. She could guide them as they dealt with their side effects and offer advice on the questions they might have.

"Everyday, I am in awe of my patients and celebrate their big and small successes as they undergo treatment. They inspire me by how strong they are. I see how they do not let their diagnosis define them. I remind myself daily how important this belief is as we all deal with difficult times. During my time with my patients, I have learned so much from them. I am proud to wear My Blue Dots pin to let my patients know that I see your journey, I Support You. I’m There for You.”

Each month as part of our My Blue Dots Human Touch series, we are featuring members of Stanford's Radiation oncology team and sharing their thoughts about the important work they do with patients everyday. We are thrilled to feature Pat, a Nurse Coordinator, whose role is to serve as her patients’ advocate during their cancer treatments. She has been at Stanford for 37 years and dedicated to Stanford Radiation Oncology for 8 years.

As a nurse coordinator, Pat is the first point of contact after patients meet with their doctors. Pat guides her patients on how to manage the communication channels between their doctors, faculty, residents and other Stanford service providers. She answers questions patients and caregivers have about treatment process and side effects. During her sessions with her patients, she encourages them to Stay Active, Be Positive and Be Active. Most importantly, live your life as normally as you can.

“My patients surprise me with their positive attitudes and how grateful they are for the job we do for them. During my sessions with them, I strive to provide them with the best patient care by being their biggest advocate and supporter. I love what I do because I see I am making a difference in my patient’s life as I reassure them during their treatment sessions. I love working at Stanford because of the high level of care we can provide to our patients due to partnership between strong academic research and our wonderful doctors. The My Blue Dots Compassionate Pin Program is wonderful program to show patients that the Stanford Radiation Oncology staff cares. I am proud to wear My Blue Dots Pin because I respect and understand what my patients are undergoing through."

My Blue Dots applaud Lauren Koong and Zaid Ali for organizing this fun Squash Out Cancer tournament. We appreciate your enthusiasm to fund cancer research and support cancer patients. We loved seeing My Blue Dots in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Albert Koong, Chair of Radiation Oncology Department at MD Anderson is also working at Squashing Out Cancer with his clinical work, research as well as supporting this squash tournament by participating. Research is difficult, but so is squash so we wish Dr. Koong good luck in both of these endeavors.
