Change is painful but necessary. As an aging man, I find myself increasingly resistant to it. Yet, throughout my life, I have endured my fair share of change. Growing up as the eldest child with young, enthusiastic parents who loved traveling, I attended eight different schools. When I left school, I aspired to become a biologist—tumor cell biology remains my passion to this day. However, my journey took several twists and turns, from pursuing a biology degree to completing a cancer research Ph.D., medicine, ITU, and surgery, before finally becoming a pathologist.
