“I’m blessed to be able to help my patients and share their journey with them—from diagnosis to treatment and survivorship—and all the highs and lows in between. As I care for patients, I keep in mind to treat others the way I would like to be treated if I were in their shoes. Each day is a gift, and I try to make the best use of each opportunity the day brings.”
