Cancer for Christmas

Original airdate: July 23, 2010

“I boil it down to this: when you take your car to a car wash, do you want to go through inside the car, or strapped to the hood? Not being informed, not taking a proactive approach to your medical care, is like going through the car wash strapped to the hood. You’ll wind up beaten to smithereens by the whirly-towel things, and get buckets of soap and wax up your nose, if you choose to go through the medical car-wash as an uninformed participant.

What follows is my story of getting cancer for Christmas in December 2007. At the time, it felt like the weirdest Christmas gift imaginable. Since then, I’ve come to truly see it as a gift.”
