The only difference between a researcher and a patient is a diagnosis. . I think we have to go beyond finding the cure, with all of its collateral damage, to finding the cause. We have to stop people from getting cancer in the first place.

 

Having cancer myself has given me a new sense of urgency. We have a limited number of days in our lives—you become more aware of that—and if I’m going to spend them coming to work, then I’m not going to be just diddling around.

 

I often tell my daughter that whether it’s changing the world or having a good time, we should not put off what we think we should do. You never know when you will be caught up short with a serious disease. We are all patients eventually!

 

I drink the expensive wine now.
