I have been seeing Dr. Donald Barber for twenty-plus years. Sixteen years ago I had one of those heart check exams and it showed what appeared to be a small spot on my left lung. After consultations, Dr. Barber insisted I have an exploratory operation at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. It turned out I had lung cancer and two-thirds of my left lung was removed. Frankly put, his insistence probably saved my life as I am still going these many years later.
