Live: Surviving a Terminal Cancer Diagnosis

Bob Abbott was diagnosed with bowel, liver, and lung cancer on December 19th, 2013, and told he had up to six months to live. The tumor in his bowel had erupted, requiring immediate surgery to save his life. A surgery he wasn't guaranteed to survive.

For the next three years he underwent liver and lung surgeries interspersed with two rounds of chemotherapy, each consisting of twelve treatments. The first round caused two blood clots to form: One passed through his heart, the other lodged in his liver.

Today, Bob is healthy and grateful he beat a literal death sentence called terminal cancer. He hopes his story will inspire those going through a life-threatening illness to keep fighting no matter the odds.
