Dr. Sue Hwang, an oncologist diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 46 despite experiencing no symptoms, reflects on her diagnosis and the shock it brought her after years of treating patients with the same condition. Driven by her experience, she authored a book titled 'From Both Sides of the Curtain: Lessons and Reflections on the Journey of an Oncologist with Breast Cancer,' where she contemplates her illness and seeks to understand how to prevent recurrence. The increasing incidence of breast cancer among individuals under 40 years of age is alarming, and Hwang emphasizes the need to manage the fear surrounding uncontrollable risk factors. To alleviate fears regarding cancer risk factors that people cannot control, Dr. Hwang advocates for healthy lifestyle habits such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and stress reduction. Scientific evidence supports these practices in preventing various types of cancer. Hwang underscores that cancer is influenced not by a single lifestyle factor but by a combination of several, highlighting the importance of comprehensive health approaches to mitigate risks and promote well-being.
