Abstract
I was driving to the hospital Sunday evening to urgently evaluate a young woman with triple-negative breast cancer whose disease had unexpectedly spread to her brain. Thoughts of fear, isolation, and smoldering melancholy entered my mind. As an oncologist, it has been a grueling 3 months. Cancer patients and caregivers, by necessity, must operate in a realm of uncertainty—but now coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) has asked us all to do the same. As I curved down Normal Blvd, I noticed the Japanese crab apples were already in full bloom.
