My goal is treating patients to improve function and quality of life. I focus on treating patients as a whole, considering their goals and beliefs. I want patients, especially those with a diagnosis of cancer, to realize that most of the symptoms that they struggle with are amenable to treatments. My advice for patients with symptoms related to cancer and cancer-related treatments is to discuss the symptoms with their providers and ask for referrals, as they do not have to live with these symptoms.
