I would want a physician who would share my grief, my frustration, and my disbelief. I like to think that, if I were dying, I would seek a legacy of peace and not a prolonged struggle. That is why, more than just expert, I want an oncologist I can trust to seek the truth with me and my family and to remain fully present as my life is ending.
