Tom had a history of cancer in his family, but never expected what happened to him. After not feeling well for a while, Tom was diagnosed with both pancreatic cancer and bladder cancer. In this episode, he talks with BCAN associate Joslyn Brown about his two cancer journeys and offers an optimistic and uplifting perspective, particularly about his bouts with bladder cancer.

Tom is also active with BCAN's Survivor to Survivor program matching newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients with trained volunteers who lend a sympathetic ear as well as what BCAN has meant to him.
