Description: Physician Becomes the Patient
I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma under my thumbnail on July 21, 2021. For those of you who have been following my cancer journey, you know that I am a surgeon who became at patient and then documented my journey in this blog. After undergoing surgery, I completed a yearlong treatment plan of chemoimmunotherapy infusions, having completed my last infusion on June 29, 2022. This blog recounts my story with a focus on a surgeon who became a patient, melanoma awareness, and the intersection of medicine
Recently Momentum Magazine, a publication of the Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center, featured my story in an article. I am posting the link below for anyone that has not had a chance to see the actual magazine. I appreciate your continued support and prayers. My next round of scans are in 3 three weeks.
