Hopefully you're still here answering questions, I know I'm super late to the game.

Do you find that lying to people on a regular basis about what you do and the things that you work on has a negative affect on your psyche, and how do you deal with that?

Thank you for your candid answer. I know that it must be one of the more difficult things (if not the most difficult thing) that goes with the job.

I'd like to add on to what /u/robcal35 said above (doing it as a response to you so that you see it, i know how nested comments can get lost)

Not only are there standardized regimens, but the document outlining the regimens is updated every month, so as soon as they have new information, they're incorporating it.

But if your mother is going to go to a board-certified oncologist, that doctor is following the exact same document and are unlikely to do anything different than the oncologist she has now. Totally agree that Doc/Patient relationship is super important though.

if someone were to hypothetically mail you thirteen 55-gallon drums filled with a mixture of jujubes and rubber ducks, what would you do with them?
