As a cancer survivor, you may find yourself taking more medications than you’re used to. Instructions on how to take medications can be confusing at times. Taking them correctly is essential to your health and recovery. Being your own advocate means staying informed and understanding what each medication is for and how to take it properly can make a big difference in your well-being. In this presentation you will learn about the following items.
