Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center – Michaels’ journey from underdiagnosing to recovery
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center shared on LinkedIn:
“Not only was the Barry University accounting professor trying to teach during the COVID pandemic, but he was also diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer. ‘I was the healthiest person in the world before that. I exercised and was a pescatarian,’ says Michael, Sylvester patient.
Initially, Michael was ‘underdiagnosed,’ but a second opinion at Sylvester revealed a more serious condition than previously thought. Despite the daunting news, he persevered. Like many cancer patients, he faced pain and anxiety, but found relief when a nurse practitioner recommended acupuncture, a service offered through our Supportive Care program.
Now, Michael is a 68-year-old cancer survivor with a positive prognosis. ‘I did a two-hour spinning class yesterday, lifted weights today, and have CrossFit tomorrow. I’ve traveled to Spain, Italy, France, and Israel. I’m still going strong.’ Read how acupuncture helped Michael throughout his journey.”
