Abstract
The following narrative chronicles the unlikely events of the author, an editorial director of an oncology publication, whose experience with cancer was purely academic in nature until 2 family members were diagnosed simultaneously with breast cancer and melanoma, respectively. The perspective-altering encounters from inside the healthcare system revealed critical lessons regarding the importance of patient-centered care as key to empowering patients and creating a sense of peace for survivors.
