Monique F. Smeets is an oncologist based at the Eastern Hill Precinct in Fitzroy, VIC 3065. She works with people and families dealing with serious blood and bone conditions, where the details really matter and the plan needs to fit the person.
In her work, she looks after patients facing illnesses such as chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). She also sees people with bone cancers, including osteosarcoma, and takes a careful, step-by-step approach to what comes next. At times, that can include helping patients prepare for bone marrow transplant care, depending on the situation.
Some referrals also come from rare disease needs. For example, she has experience supporting people linked with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and Rapadilino syndrome. These conditions can be complex, and care often means coordinating the bigger picture with other health professionals.
Care isn’t only about treatment choices. It is also about listening to what is happening, answering the practical questions, and making sure patients understand the next steps. Over time, that kind of support can make a big difference, especially when treatment takes patience and follow-up.
Experience: specific years of practice are not listed here, but her clinical focus includes managing the conditions mentioned above, and supporting patients through treatments like bone marrow transplant when appropriate.
Education: her education details are not listed here. If you want the exact training history, it may be available through the clinic.
Research and clinical trials: no specific publications or trial details are shown here. In many cases, oncologists can talk through whether research options or clinical trials might be relevant, but this will depend on the diagnosis, stage, and overall health.
