Catherine C Gustavson

Community shows support for Durango oncology nurse with brain tumor

• Both Korb and Catherine Gustavson, whose son, Stanton, received treatment for leukemia, said Henings experience and understanding of oncology made everyone more comfortable, especially when it came to finding the port in the patients chest.It has to be accessed by a needle every time they get chemo. And so when they go in, usually, they put a numbing cream on so they don't have to feel the actual needle go in. But the anxiety and the stress starts before you even leave the house, Catherine Gustavson said.When you have a nurse that may or may not be able to access that port with precision every time. There is a lot more anxiety that builds and Etoile was excellent at it. She always got it. Not all nurses are able to do that, Catherine Gustavson said.She had a specific room that was set up, and Im pretty sure she made it personally. It was filled with like toys and things that kids like. She brought in snacks and all the creature comforts to make it as comforting and desirable as it could be, Catherine Gustavson said.
