Every day, I meet with patients who have cancer. Several years ago, I was feeling a little down about it. Don’t get me wrong: I still get joy from helping people.
But a little voice kept reminding me of the missing part of the cancer management equation: Risk reduction. There is no doubt that I can do more.
I decided to do a couple of things. First, I would add a risk-reducing component to my dialogs with my dear patients.
Second, I would blog about wellness, focusing on evidence-based ways to reduce the risk of getting (or dying from) cancer.
Now, if you know me, you know that I have boundless energy. And that I am extraordinarily disciplined.
