Heart to Heart: A Physician Faces Down Cancer, Her Own

Samantha Siegel, MD is an internal medicine physician with Kaiser Permanente. She explains, "I began my primary care practice with a thorough understanding of advanced disease processes that often result in hospitalization and the type of care people need when they transition back home. Then, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma and underwent over two years of intensive cancer treatment, including an autologous bone marrow transplant. This led me to study integrative medicine and to focus my practice on the evolving field of cancer survivorship." You will be encouraged to hear how she has negotiated her own survivorship as a medical professional.
