“When I was in medical school, my teenage sister
was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma and she
received radiation therapy as part of her treatment.
I sat in waiting rooms with her and witnessed tears,
laughter, fear and loving touches. My sister’s therapist,
“Max,” kidded with her on a daily basis making each
day easier for her. A small child with ALL loved my
sister and for more than 20 years that child’s mother
remembered my sister with Christmas cards. I knew I
wanted to be part of this human experience.
A cancer diagnosis changes the entire family as the
impermanence of life is understood. Often people
have commented on my profession with words
suggesting my days must be “so sad.” In fact, it is
quite the opposite. Every day, I meet people with
tremendous courage and I witness families being
present for one another. People with cancer have
learned to confirm the people in their lives and in
their generosity they often confirm the presence of
their doctors. Oncology has taught me the meaning of
compassion. I look forward to each patient encounter
as a privileged opportunity to be part of their health
care team."
