Episode 6: Beating the Odds: An Amazing Story of Cancer Survival

Today, there are over 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States, which means more and more people are beating cancer than ever before. This episode will feature Sean Swarner, the only person in the world ever recorded to have been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and Askin's sarcoma. However, the story is not about his illness, but how he overcame it to climb the seven tallest peaks in the world, founding the CancerClimber Association. Guests will discuss advice for those who feel physical limitations after cancer treatment and whether every cancer patient should attempt a physical goal as well as the kind of support cancer patients need to cope. They include Sean Swarner, Hodgkin's lymphoma and Askin's sarcoma survivor and Founder of the CancerClimber Association and Peter D. Eisenberg, MD of California Cancer Care. Click HERE to listen
