But how do you really feel? Over on KevinMD.com, Anoop Kumar, MD, reflects on his personal and professional experiences with cancer. The emergency physician cares for people with acute complications from cancer and related treatments. In the post, Kumar describes his journey through the death of his grandmother when he was in seventh grade, the bursting of a dam of emotional supression later on, and the continued leaking of grief as he confronts his confusion, sadness and loss around the event.
Inspired by a 2010 article in The Guardian, Kumar urges readers dealing with hardship to "be positive. Or be negative. Or be confused. But whatever you are, be yourself."
