It has been challenging to say the least. The two women who I love the most in this world. Health issues. Wish I could do more 😞. Luckily I was able to spend some time but leaving was 💔. Today reminds me that even when times look dark the sun is always there. #Eclipse2024 ☀️🌙
Day 1 of Harvard Medical School 12.5 years ago. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d go from La Puente High School to Brigham and Women’s Radiation Oncology. Growing up, no health insurance, no doctor looked like us or spoke Spanish. Needed to succeed for abuelita, mami, #Familia #Community #SiSePuede #DoctorsDay2024

Fantastic thread Mark Lewis!
There are many areas of confusion & concern.
Many patients never have someone review imaging, pathology, or reasons behind recommendations.
Cancer is terrifying & life changing.
Demystifying terminology is key to empowering patients & families.
