Tatiana Prowell: This is why we never give up
Tatiana Prowell shared a post by Vevs Hughes, a Stage 4 Breast Cancer survivor, on X/Twitter:
“This is why we never give up, Oncology Twitter. Medicine is the best job.”
Quoting Vevs Hughes’s post:
“2023 was not a kind year but I’m now entering year 8 of Stage 4 Breast Cancer. I’m as scared today as I was in 2008 and then 2016 but I’m here and I’m happy and will hopefully see my youngest son reach 18. A goal I never thought that I would see.”
