"When we hear the word cancer, we only think of the end result—dire, you know, the most bad result that we can think of." – Dr. Berry Pierre

"Shout out to medical technology—saves another life. We get a shout out to medical technology. I think a lot of times, especially with this day and age, where we got handheld devices that can send faxes and edit pictures and videos... A lot of times people don't think about the medical technological advances that are in medicine." – Dr. Berry Pierre

"The second your doctor says the C word—cancer—everything else after that don't really mean a hill of beans." – Dr. Berry Pierre
