Ruth is a 67-year-old woman living with metastatic lung cancer. She receives care at a treatment center near her home in rural southern Illinois. There are larger hospitals over an hour away in St. Louis, but she doesn t have the time or financial resources to travel there as often as she would need to.
Fortunately, the cancer center near Ruth s home boasts excellent staff - including her oncologist, experienced nurses, a pharmacist, and a social worker.
