At the age of 42, Rob Whitaker was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. Not one to accept this news passively, Rob chose to wage his own war, with biting humor and a unique perspective on how to manage pain and setbacks. Rob's life with his wife and kids is enviable to most because he has chosen to live it to the fullest. Honest, tough and funny, Rob gets down to the brass tacks and talks about his hopes, his strategies and his fears. I'm not the only one inspired by Rob's words of wisdom, Nurses from Sloane Kettering and Doctors of Nursing up and down the Eastern seaboard have taken it upon themselves to print up the periodic email updates he sends to friends and family, and disseminate them to cancer patients and their loved ones as a guide of what to expect and how to handle the road ahead. It is my belief that these emails will some day become a book, which will inspire and encourage future cancer patients, their loved ones, and anyone looking to overcome any insurmountable obstacle.
