Im Sure the subject has been covered in full but I'm asking for advice a little more tailored to my situation.
Hey guy, so Im 30 years old married with 3 kids under 4 years old. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor called AT/RT two and half years ago. She is doing great by the way. After spending two years basically living at MD Anderson I have decided I want to get involved with the cancer fight by going to school.
I am now 3 semesters in and I'm loving it.
At this point Im leaning towards oncology pharmacy at a hospital, but there is a strong pull to the research side as well. From what I have gathered I cant do both, and I would have to pick my direction soon.
My question is is there a place for cancer research with a pharmd or would I be wasting my time? Can you work in a hospital setting with a PhD? Working in any field where I can have a small impact on cancer is the end goal, being that it tried to take my baby away from me.
Maybe pharmacy is the wrong direction all together, but Im not interested in MD.
