This week we lost a great doctor, leader, mentor and friend in Gastroenterology, Dr. Yang Chen. His journey with cancer ended Friday, October 15th. It was only three years ago that Dr. Chen disappeared from the Saturday portion of his annual endoscopy hands-on course. It was then that he found out that he had stage 4 lung cancer. His fight to survive began that day.
Another journey also began that day. You see, that amazing scientist and physician found a mission in his cancer. He took it upon himself to speak to other scientists and health care professionals about Faith. Yes, Faith. Not something that is discussed among physicians and scientists very often. But if he could reach even one fellow professional, then his battle with cancer would mean something. His journey with cancer has inspired so many of us to remember why we are here, and to realize that we are not just colleagues, but a family of professionals who can make a real difference in each other’s lives and our walk in Faith. His “Doctor’s Journey with Cancer” website offers key insights into this man of great character. He was a blessing and he is in no doubt, a better place and cancer free.
