Are You Happy with Your Doctor-Patient Relationship?

Recently, a woman from Alberta, who is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis, reached out to me on Instagram. We’d connected before and shared parts of our breast cancer experiences with each other, so it was great to hear from her again. This time, though, instead of a written update she sent me a video clip from season two of The Big C, a television series currently on Prime TV. The show stars actor Laura Linney as Cathy, a suburban mom diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma and in the scene, Cathy advises a group of young medical students on how to treat their cancer patients.
