Empathy plays a crucial role in the context of this course project. Understanding and predicting the time it takes for breast cancer patients to receive a metastatic cancer diagnosis requires more than just data analysis—it necessitates a deep appreciation of the human experience behind the statistics. By approaching this project with empathy, we can ensure that our findings and recommendations are centered around the real lives and struggles of the patients involved. This involves recognizing the emotional, psychological, and physical toll that delayed diagnoses can have on patients and their families.
