Just got my schedule (a little late in the summer, eh?) . . .

I'm starting with onoclogy (my weakest subject in pathology 😳 ). Any tips on what I should be prepared for?

I didn't have much exposure to Onc when I did my medicine elective, but what I did see didn't involve much on the intern's side of things. Seems like all he did was put in orders that went, in general, like this:

Chemo tx & dexamethasone
Blood sugar check BID
CMP/CBC daily
Odansteron
Protonix
Heparin

I'm sure there's more to it, so I'm wondering what that is.
