While Ni-Cheng Liang was training to become a pulmonologist, she learned all too well what it feels like to be a patient. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in the second year of her fellowship.

She’s also connected with survivors in a different way—through her passion for dragon boat racing. Read more about Dr. Cheng here.
