\n<\/TABLE>Teri Hartman knows how to find information on all types of diseases for visitors of the McGoogan Library of Medicine. <\/p>\n

Now, with the help of the library’s Consumer Health Information Resource Service (CHIRS), she’s immersed in her own research. <\/p>\n

Hartman, head of education and assistant professor of the McGoogan Library of Medicine, has been diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare and unpredictable form of cancer found mostly in the head and neck. <\/p>\n

On July 31, she started seven weeks of post-surgery, daily radiation to remove the cancer in her left cheek. <\/p>\n

Always upbeat, Hartman is traveling this new road with humor and honesty, as she invites UNMC Today readers to join her. “I want something good to come out of something bad,” she says. <\/p>\n

“The health professionals at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and The Nebraska Medical Center are among the very best in the nation,” Hartman said. “Knowing that I am getting the best care right here in Omaha has made traveling this new road easier for me and my family.<\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>“In addition to the great care by the health professionals, I have been getting excellent health information from the Consumer Health Information Resource Service librarians at the McGoogan Library of Medicine. I ask a question about a treatment or a medication, they look it up, and then I can take the information to discuss with my health care providers. It is wonderful to have this free service for all Nebraskans and anyone treated at The Nebraska Medical Center.”<\/p>\n

Until the next TODAY update, readers can follow Hartman’s journey on her personal blog (cheekylibrarian.blogspot.com)<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
