To My Beloved Patients at INMC,
 
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for the support and love I have received since the announcement of my diagnosis. Reading through your thoughtful messages, loving cards and warm thoughts have meant the world to me. I endeavor to be transparent with you all along this journey and hope to shed my insights on the benefits of a combined approach to cancer treatment.

What has brought you the most comfort during your first few weeks of treatment?
 
The loving support of my large family circle including my best furry buddy, Kenji.
 
I am extremely grateful for the well wishes and love from patients, colleagues, and friends that I have received. This truly has made the biggest impact on my treatment journey so far.
 

 
What has surprised you the most about your treatment experience so far?
Now having an internal patient perspective at not only the BC Cancer Agency but also at Integrative, I have a deeper understanding and a greater sympathy for my patients in treatment.

One of the most difficult aspects I have faced has been adhering to my supplement protocol as this is greatly impacted on days nausea is present.

As always, prevention and early detection are key to any diagnosis. Understanding cancer's impact on cell growth and mutation confirms a preventative lifestyle can lower risk and/or severity. Not sure where to start? We recommend easy dietary upgrades that benefit your cells and immune system. When unsure, opt for specialized testing to guide the most effective treatment approach for your individual needs.

I am wishing each of you a vibrant and healthy summer, and look forward to sharing more of my journey with you in the coming weeks.
 
With love, sincerely;
Dr. Lawrence Chan
