Abstract
I am a physician who specializes in neonatology. There are few specialties more grounded in pure physiology. I am also a cancer patient. In the summer of 2010 I was diagnosed with a locally advanced rectal carcinoma. I received the best care medicine has to offer, from skilled and compassionate physicians: preoperative radiochemotherapy, a low anterior resection, a temporary ileostomy, and 12 cycles of chemotherapy. I worked throughout the entire ordeal and am told I “sailed through” chemo. I’ve made the mistake of reading tales of ghastly complications, misdiagnoses, and treatment failures on Internet chats devoted to my disease, and I know how lucky I am.
