Oncologist reflects on ‘resiliency of the human spirit’

She came when the ice was still on the ground, having traveled from a place far removed from the frozen land that she would now call home.

Upon meeting her, I was struck by her vivacity. She was bright, pleasant, and engaging despite her physical condition. She told me of the tremendous suffering she had endured since her diagnosis of cancer but remained upbeat and hopeful that she would continue to fight against her illness.

She had two young children, who would occasionally come to clinic with her when she attended appointments. They had her eyes; the family resemblance was clear. It was a pleasure to hear their cheerful voices in the waiting room, a place where the quiet…

Living With Ovarian Cancer Really?

If you read any writings, blogs, facebook posts, on living with cancer, you will find that it is often referred to as a Fight, a Battle, and that those participating in this fight referred to as warriors. Let me just say how abhorrent this is. Cancer is not a fight, and cancer patients are not warriors. Cancer is a disease, and just like any other disease it invades the bodies of people who were once healthy and whole, vibrant, and going about the daily business of life. Instead, consider cancer as an unwelcome visitor, who comes and doesn't know when to leave.

This name comes from the appearance of the cut surface of a solid malignant tumor, with the "veins stretched out on all sides as the animal the crab has its feet, whence it derives its name."
