I lost my husband to cancer. That experience – like no other –
allowed me to experience what a cancer patient has to go through. It inspired
me to be the best doctor I could be, not just by knowing technically what
to do, but also by understanding the breadth of difficulties a person
faces when given the diagnosis of cancer. I find my patients inspiring
– I learn from them and admire them every day.” |
