Abstract |
Imagine being diagnosed with a disease as seemingly minor as melanoma that
quickly progresses to stage four cancer, where the chances of survival
drop to less than 10% in five years. And, the options are only surgery, a
handful of tough FDA-approved treatments, and a risky experimental therapy
hundreds of miles from home.
Usually we think of cancer as an ugly, terrifying disease. But Bob
Heffernan's amazing journey against all odds tells an uplifting story of
perseverance, hope, and positivity that will inspire all cancer patients.
He found that alongside fear and suffering, cancer provides numerous gifts
that nourish the human soul. It's a story about how we can find goodness
and beauty in even the most terrible challenge life throws at us: cancer.
