When people ask me why I became an oncologist, it reminds me that I’m very lucky to be doing what I do to help people. And when they remind me that it must be very difficult, I nod my head because it is -- but it is also incredibly rewarding. We help people during a very difficult time in their life – a cancer diagnosis. As one of my professors in medical school said, “It is a tremendous compliment for someone to come to us for care,” and I try always to remember that. There aren’t many places in the world where there is a top-notch multidisciplinary breast clinic, with medical oncologists, breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists/breast imagers, physical therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists, social workers and psychologists, nurses, and staff working shoulder-to-shoulder to provide the best, individualized care for each patient. We are lucky to provide individualized care to each person we see.
