PBS: The Emperor of All Maladies

Back in July, 2013 when I was in the middle of treatment, I wrote about "The Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD. I read the book before I was diagnosed, on the advice of a friend, and loved it. Go back and read what I wrote about it previously.

Wonderful Wife informed me today that the book has been made into a PBS documentary series produced by Ken Burns. It is a 6-hour program that will apparently air on PBS over three nights beginning March 30. Check your local listings (or just watch it online).

I'm excited to see how the book translates to documentary film format.

    Our facebook group “selfless” is spending this month spreading awareness on prostate cancer & research with a custom t-shirt design. Purchase proceeds will go to cancer.org, as listed on the shirt and shirt design.

    Thanks
