Balancing Hope and Sadness: An Oncologist's Journey with Cancer Patients

Being an Oncologist for the past four and a half years has been both rewarding and emotionally taxing. Every day, I encounter patients who entrust me with their fight agnst cancer. When a patient compliments my work or expresses gratitude by bringing sweets as appreciation, it feels like a bittersweet moment; a mix of happiness knowing that at least for now, the disease is stable or improving, contrasted with the knowledge that many might not survive beyond a year or two.

On one hand, these moments are filled with joy. The patient's relief and gratitude bring smiles to my face and fill me with satisfaction. Yet on the other side of the spectrum lies sadness - despite knowing the harsh realities, I have to keep encouraging patients through their journey and smile amidst their struggles.

The emotional burden is overwhelming; like an actor who must mntn a facade regardless of personal feelings. Similarly, I find myself smiling and being positive for my patients even as I ponder about their grim prognosis. Working with cancer patients brings together the spectrum of hope versus sadness. Removing tumors feels like a victory but if the disease recurs or comes back, it's devastating.

Each case teaches me more about emotional resilience and handling these feelings. The strength of the spirit faced agnst this adversarial battle is truly inspiring. However, reality can be very depressing in this field. As I continue my journey as an Oncologist, I hope to become better at managing these emotions.

Being an Oncologist isn't limited to surgeries and medical care; it's about emotional connection with patients, sharing in their successes and providing comfort in their struggles. This emotional rollercoaster showcases the strength of spirit alongside the dedication of those who fight agnst cancer.
