I am 35 years old with stage 4 colon cancer with lung mets. While this is a very scary time for me, Dr. Lung gives me confidence that we'll be able to control my disease. I fully trust him, and while I know he is extremely busy, he always takes time to sit down and explain things to me. He even stopped by and saw me at 3am after he flew in from an operation he performed. You can tell he truly cares. He provides a bit of light for me during a very dark time, and I am so grateful for that.
