Dr. Robert Lum became interested in oncology at the age of 14 when his father died of cancer. Because his father was initially misdiagnosed, treatment was delayed and he suffered a great deal. It was then that Dr. Lum pledged to dedicate his life’s work to helping others fight this cruel disease.
With new treatment options and recovery rates for cancer improving every day, Dr. Lum believes there is never a reason to give up all hope. “I try to give my patients a sense of hope, especially when they believe there is none. As a Christian, I know faith makes a big difference in a person’s ability to be healed.” “At the very least, I can help my patients physically by decreasing their pain and improving their quality of life, while offering the emotional and spiritual support they need.”
Treating the whole person, not just the disease, is the philosophy Dr. Lum embraces. “Cancer affects more than the physical body. It also takes its toll on the patient’s emotional well-being. Often friends and family members are frightened of cancer and unintentionally withdraw their support when the patient needs it most. That’s where I can help,” says Dr. Lum. “I can listen and understand. Patients need to know someone truly cares.”
