Lynn Carbino, BSN, RN, oncology nurse navigator, was a featured speaker at the 50th Annual Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress in Denver, CO. Carbino presented during a highly anticipated session titled Cancer: A Love Story, sharing her personal and professional journey in oncology nursing.
In her heartfelt presentation, Carbino reflected on how a chance meeting with a newly diagnosed cancer patient – who would later become her husband – shaped her passion and purpose in oncology. She illustrated how love, empathy and human connection are at the core of nursing, and how those bonds can lead to healing and personal transformation.
