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. Its a story about how we can find goodness and beauty in even the most terrible challenge life throws at us: cancer.
