Oncologists Quotes

• Habiendo sido oncólogo y habiendo atendido a decenas, si no cientos, de pacientes moribundos, cuando no tienes un tratamiento que pueda reducir el tumor y el paciente va a morir, es una conversación muy difícil. Es emocionalmente agotadora.

• I really believe that is helping people. I've been talking to oncologists about how we can re-frame and re-think the chemo process, so it becomes a much more spiritual, psychological journey. Where people really could burn away what needs to be burned away. It's happening anyway. Why not frame it in a psychological way where it can serve as a transformation?
