Mark Lewis: Every candle counts
Mark Lewis shared a post on X:
“It’s been a rough week of loss in our practice
But whenever I feel defeated by cancer I remember the 7th grader who called me up for advice because she wants to be an oncologist.
When I asked her why, she replied ‘to help patients celebrate more birthdays.’
When I asked her why, she replied ‘to help patients celebrate more birthdays.’
Every candle counts.“
