dieticians, massage therapists, chap-
lains and patient navigators who help
walk patients through the process
and tell them about all the services
they have. To provide those services
Careity raises money through events
like its Celebrity Cutting, and Careity
Rocks.
“They offer so much support. For
me as a social worker I can go to
them without having to fill out appli-
cations and wait for several weeks for
approvals. I can get immediate assis-
tance. For patients in the community
I can help them get financial assis-
tance. If you don’t have access to the
oncologist, or the medicine or the
treatment that you need it’s frighten-
ing. You can get approval quickly for
treatment, medication or insurance
premiums for whatever the patient
needs quickly,” she said.
Since her successful treatment,
Kehoe has been busy complet-
ing a nine-month intensive training
program to become a yoga instructor.
In fact, she had just returned from
Costa Rica where she had gone for
a yoga retreat, which she described
as, “Not like a vacation.” She is look-
ing for ways to use her yoga training
to help others who might not have
access to the study, which can help
with stress and relaxation. She’s been
talking with local community groups
that might benefit from her expertise.
As a thirteen-year survivor herself,
Kehoe has a special insight that helps
her patients and their families.
“Having gone through it myself, I
thought I could give something back
to patients and care givers, through
my experience with my dad and
losing a family member. Being a
social worker and just knowing that
it’s a process. Things never happen as
quickly as you want them to. You’re
waiting for test results, lab results.
Knowing the process a little bit and
knowing about resources, counsel-
ing and financial, that are available.
Understanding how important that
connection [is],” she continued.
“Having been through it makes
me a much better social worker. I
don’t think I would have gone into
oncology. I wouldn’t have been able
to help as much. Everyone’s story is
different.”
