In the article, Caleb quotes another surgeon who claimed that “The concept of hope is elusive as we live in a data-driven world.” I agree with this assessment of the current state of affairs, but like Caleb I think that it is a point worth pushing back on for our patients with cancer. It touches on the facts and technicalities of lung cancer, but also on the less well-defined and more mysterious aspects of cancer such as the mind-body connection, overcoming mental barriers, and perhaps most important, on hope.
Caleb's story is strikingly painful, but beautifully told.
