RESOURCES FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY BATTLING OR HAVE BEATEN CANCER
An American Cancer Society public relations official confirmed that there are no guidelines for treating physicians or support groups specific to people with disabilities.
The side effects from Karp’s cancer
treatments hit him hard and led to some feelings of insecurity.
Knowing this, Karp proactively set out to ensure the time he spent in the hospital and receiving treatments would be as safe and comfortable for him as possible.
He made sure there was extra
cushioning on the tables where he received radiation treatments, and later in
the process, as he lost some physical strength, he requested assistance making
a safe transfer because the table was several inches higher than his seat.
