Synopsis

We're Surviving Cancer . . . Today" tells the story of how one couple is surviving a husband's encounter with lung cancer. Bennett recounts his day-to-day survival in excerpts from periodic health updates he sends to family and friends. He hopes his story will help others understand the benefit of not carrying the burden of anxiety alone and the advantage of sharing joy and despair with those who offer love and support. Linda shares her story in a collection of reflections on how she has navigated the terrain of surviving cancer with Bennett and where she has found the strength to continue their journey. Their words reveal how love can nurture the hope and the courage to survive cancer one day at a time.
