Organizer’s description

🗣 Bryant Lin: An Exploration of Living When You Are Dying 🔆 Join me at the Commonwealth Club for a conversation with Dr. Bryant Lin, a leading researcher, physician, and cancer advocate who brings a deeply personal perspective to the question of how we live when faced with our own terminal illness. Over a 20-year career, Dr. Lin treated countless patients with lung cancer. Then, despite never having smoked, he was diagnosed with the same disease. For the first time, he experienced cancer not as a doctor, but as a patient—navigating grief, treatment, and the uncertainty of a life-limiting diagnosis. Determined to turn that experience into something useful for others, Dr. Lin created From Diagnosis to Dialog: A Doctor’s Real-Time Battle with Cancer at Stanford Medical School. The course quickly became a sensation, drawing international attention. Now, in his new book Sunshine, Dr. Lin distills what his experience has taught him about navigating difficult medical news, finding hope amid uncertainty, and living fully in the face of mortality. ▪︎ Purchase your ticket Here: https://commonwealthclub.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0FVb00000HSk1JMAT ▪︎ Message me when you've got a ticket and I'll move you off the waitlist. ▪︎ Meet at 4:45 sharp at the Commonwealth Club (110 The Embarcadero) ▪︎ PLEASE don't be a no-show.
