Not since Mike introduced me to Leroy Sievers, a journalist, and his public cancer journey have I been really moved by another public figure's personal struggle and journey with cancer. I don't typically watch TV for the sake of watching, but stumbled upon Tom Brokaw's story on Dateline NBC tonight about his life after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects the bones and plasma.
Tom Brokaw Dateline NBC
What was most poignant about this story was that he was the one interviewing his family, his doctors, his oncology nurses, his colleagues, as well as telling the story of his journey with pain, treatment, setbacks, and inspirational moments. That approach made the story really hit home, and I thank Mr. Brokaw for being vulnerable enough to share his journey so others may learn from it and be inspired to really appreciate each day as it comes.
