“I don’t treat cancer. I treat the person carrying it.”
– A day in the life of an oncologist
Every day I walk into my clinic, I remind myself:
Cancer is not a statistic.
It’s someone’s father, sister, teacher, best friend.
The scans speak science.
But their eyes speak fear.
And my role is not just protocols — it's presence.
I’ve seen stage IV patients outlive expectations,
And early-stage ones lose hope too early.
That’s why oncology is not just about the disease.
It’s about conversations — tough, truthful, tender.
Here’s what we’re getting better at:
Early detection through AI-based imaging
Targeted therapy that spares what chemo couldn’t
Palliative care that’s proactive, not reactive
Psych-oncology – because the mind needs healing too
But what we need more of?
👂 Listening.
Research.
🫂 Human-first platforms where patients feel seen, not processed.
Cancer is complex. But dignity shouldn’t be.
Let’s bring that into the center of care.
