"I look after lymphoma patients using immunochemotherapy as a form of treatment.  It has been a joy to see my younger patients get married, have children and even run marathons after their treatment. For some of my elderly patients, their wishes are simply to attend their children's wedding or see their grandchildren being born.  With treatment, they were able to fulfil their wishes.  I hope that each one of them will continue to live well and be an inspiration to those around them."
