This was a really inspiring story about a young Doctor being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She sees and can understand the other side of her table: from a doctors point of view to a patients point of view. One of the things she values was having a people around her willing to help her as well as a mentor who helped her get through the struggle. Being that she was married, the part that stood out the most for me was the fact that during Therapy her and her husband took a vacation to Hawaii together. =)

ReplyDeleteI think it is really interesting that they took vacation to Hawaii. Maybe she was a very positive thinking person who took her illness positively that she will be fine. I know someone who has tumor and she had two surgeries and her husband went to work on the day of her surgery and left her alone in the hospital. He tell her that i will leave you one day. So I think she was lucky that she had supporting husband. I feel people with chronic illnesses needs more emotional support than ever.
