    The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) is the largest national specialty organization dedicated to improving patient care and quality of life by defining, enhancing, and promoting the role of oncology nurse and patient navigators. Our organization of over 8,900 members was founded in May 2009 to provide a network for all professionals involved and interested in patient navigation and survivorship care services to better manage the complexities of the cancer care treatment continuum for their patients. We view our organization as one consisting of “professional patient advocates” and, to that end, we support and serve our members.

The Body I Need

The Body I Need by Sharon Chappell

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2017 and completed the treatment in September 2018. I have been writing poetry and hand lettering empowering sayings (as in these examples) about my experience with cancer.

I first experienced cancer at age 7, when my father was diagnosed with lymphoma, which led to a lifelong of chronic illnesses until his death from brain cancer 3 days after my cancer diagnosis. I’ve also written a book, The Little Green Monster: Cancer Magic! (www.littlegreenmonster.org), about a family affected by cancer, and an imaginary friend who helps them through treatment.
