Abstract
Life has an interesting way of bringing people together. The survivors are a University professor and a young college student. Both have struggled with cancer and have beaten the odds of survival. This is the true story, recited through their distinct voices, of their diverse and complicated journeys of participating in their own medical care and healing. While their paths are distinct, striking similarities also exist that will capture the interest and hopefully provide inspiration to others faced with a serious disease to take control of their own destiny. Their life travel is sometimes serious, complementary, yet ultimately successful.
