My love for medicine started at a very young age, as I watched and learnt to appreciate my father’s dedication to helping people with cancer.
For me, hematology/oncology is a calling to help patients fight a disease that has had major advancements in its treatment. My goals as a physician in this field are to always look at the whole picture – aggressiveness to conquer the disease by researching all alternatives, consulting all physicians on the case for the best treatment plan, and to always keep the comfort of the patient and family at the top of my list.
