Surviving cancer - Photo Gallery
Dani Ligett (left) and I bonded over our parallel cancer experiences. Here, we're girding ourselves to walk 20 kilometers in the 2008 Prouty. The first time I met Dani, courtesy of Dartmouth-Hitchcock's BeFriend program, she was lying in a hospital bed recovering from her mastectomy and reconstruction. We cleared the room so I could pull up my shirt and show her my reconstructed breast. We've been pals ever since.
