- 00:07My subspecialty is
- 00:09musculoskeletal oncology, lumps and
- 00:11bumps of the musculoskeletal system. I
- 00:14couldn't begin to take care
- 00:17of cancer patients without

- 00:21It's built into the process we get together.

- 00:32or tumor boards on a weekly basis.
- 00:35And and we are a team.
- 00:38My responsibilities as a team member.

- 01:01to help people through this this journey,
- 01:04I just think it's important that that

- 01:13Why we are here and they
- 01:15they are the blessings.
