If I could tell my cancer care team one thing it would be…how very fortunate I am to be under the care of medical professionals at Smilow Cancer Hospital, whose caliber of expertise, compassion, and comprehensive approach to care is unmatched. Through meaningful exchanges, developing treatment strategies together, and at times going the extra mile for me, the necessary balances of mutual respect and trustworthiness between doctor and patient are seamlessly achieved. You are all my earth angels that bravely stand guard between me and the cancer beast, thus allowing me to move forward in a fully peaceful state, each and every day. My deepest gratitude to all the doctors, nurses, techs, therapists, social workers, and administrative support, with special recognition to my fearless team leaders.
