Sandy Morgan is a post-doctoral associate in the Smith respiratory physiology lab at the University of Florida. Sandy graduated as a registered nurse from the University of Florida more than 30 years ago. She received her master’s degree in adult neuroscience nursing at the University of South Florida. She worked as a clinical neuroscience nurse specialist in critical care for many years, followed by various nursing leadership roles, before returning to receive her PhD at the University of South Florida. During her PhD program, she successfully developed a home-based respiratory strength training intervention for people with long-COVID and shortness of breath. The data from this study has just been published this month in the journal of Clinical Nursing Research. She is now focusing on developing a respiratory muscle strengthening program for women with breast cancer. Respiratory weakness frequently occurs in the breast cancer population because of breast cancer treatments, as well as the aging process. There are some early studies linking respiratory muscle weakness to lymphedema in women with breast cancer.Sandy is currently preparing 2 research studies that will focus on women preparing to undergo breast cancer treatment, and women with existing lymphedema.Connect with Derlyhttps://cancermindandbodyrehab.comhttps://Cancerrehabsolutions.comSocialInstagram.com/cancermindandbodyrehab/Facebook.com/cancermindandbodyrehab/Facebook.com/Cancerrehabsolutions/https://www.youtube.com/@cancerrehabsolutionshttps://twitter.com/@Derlycanc72466Connect with Sandra Morgan [email protected]LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-morgan-2885ab50 E-Mail: [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553634070398
