In her first piece on our site, Charlotte G. wrote about how her experience with her mother's cancer and her own BRCA2 diagnosis shapes her approach to cancer care. "My takeaway is that people are generally more at ease when they feel that you can truly relate to their experience. Certainly, as nurses, we cannot possibly endure all the ailments and strife our patients go through, but if it just so happens that we did have that experience, should we share it?

Through self-disclosure, I have formed more intimate connections that make my patients and their loved ones feel less alone."
