Living With...   /     Living With…Episode 022 Benjamin Rubenstein, Ewing’s Sarcoma& Myelodysplasia Survivor

Description

The Cancer Slayer Welcome to the show everyone! I hope you are all well! My guest today is a speaker and the author of the CancerslayerBlog and two books, TWICE How I Became A Cancer-Slaying Super Man Before I Turned 21, as well as,  Secrets of the Cancer-Slaying Super Man. His work has also been cited by Newsweek and the New York Times. At the age of 16, he experienced hip pain as a talented tennis player and student living in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma a rare form of cancer, usually found in teenagers and young adults. “Benjamin believed that he was no Sick Kid but a super-powered hero who had a unique ability to withstand the toxic chemicals of cancer therapy and preserve his healthy cells while zapping the round-celled malignancy that had invaded his body.” The aggressive treatment he received at the NIH saved his life and he went on to attend the University of Virginia. Unfortunately, a follow-up CBC revealed that his bone marrow was damaged due to all of the treatments he had received. He had myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease near and dear to my heart. For the second time he took on cancer’s challenge and won. Links For This Episode Benjamin on Facebook Benjamin on Twitter Benjamin's Books Benjamin's Cancerslayer Blog
