As a psychiatrist who has cancer, I have developed a deep understanding of how clinicians can help patients who are facing the complicated emotional aspects of dealing with a potentially life-threatening illness. When it comes to cancer, I have been through a lot and have learned a lot.

As a psychiatrist who has cancer, I have developed a deep understanding of the ways in which our training can help us help patients who find themselves forced to deal with the complicated emotional aspects that accompany this disease. My hope is that my insights will help psychiatrists as they wrestle with the problems that plague their patients who are coping with this difficult disease.
