<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/a11yvr21>On *Tuesday
January 18 2022* at *19:00 EST* (00:00 UTC / 09:00 JST Jan 20) the
*Accessibility
VR Meetup <https://www.meetup.com/A11yVR/>* hosts '*A Voice For Virtual
Reality: The Advocate's Role
<https://www.meetup.com/a11yvr/events/282196531/>*' online. Two-time cancer
survivor, *Heather Bucalos
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-bucalosrn321/>*, RN, knows firsthand
of the benefits of VR for oncology patients. She used VR during her
month-long hospital stay while being treated for blood cancer in 2020. The
discomfort she experienced during cancer treatment led her on a search for
better relief of common cancer treatment side effects. The idea to use VR
during her own treatment proved beneficial for her as she is now a fierce
advocate of VR in healthcare.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet
Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG <https://a11ysig.org>* (A11ySIG).
