That can include managing symptoms and planning care that fits around day-to-day life. Cancer is stressful, and the path can feel up and down. He aims to keep things steady and practical.
He looks after patients dealing with conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and melanoma. He also supports people with pleural effusion, which is fluid around the lungs, and ascites, which is fluid in the belly. These problems can cause pain, breathing changes, swelling, or general discomfort. So the care is often about both treating the cancer and helping relieve the side effects that come with it.
