Mali Barbi: Success of a Treatment is Measured by the Life Lived Between Appointments

Mali Barbi, Medical Oncologist at Northwell Health Cancer Institute, shared a post on X:

“As an oncologist, I’ve learned that the ‘success’ of a treatment isn’t just measured by a shrinking tumor.

It’s measured by the life lived between appointments. It’s the grandmother attending a graduation, and the woman returning to the career she loves.

Science gives us the ‘how’, but my patients give us the ‘why.’

Rested and ready for another week of fighting for what matters most.”
