Favorite place to visit:
My home country, the Philippines
Favorite/most memorable patient moment:
I had a patient who was in her late 70s with Stage IV Breast Cancer. She was nevertheless very active, worked part-time and liked to travel all over the country and the world. Every time her breast cancer progressed and was no longer responding to her current treatment, she would beg me to come up with a treatment plan for her that would not interfere with her lifestyle or with her trips. At every visit, she would regale me with stories of where she has been or where her next voyage would be. Somehow we managed to do that for several years, until unfortunately, her disease progressed further and she opted to pursue palliative/hospice care rather than aggressive treatment. After she passed away, I received a call from one of her children, thanking me for taking care of their mother, but most of all, for considering above everything else, what she wanted and how she wanted to be treated for her cancer.
Favorite guilty pleasure:
Combing estate sales, and I had to give up listening to Christmas carols starting in September!
