The Median is not the Message - Wisdom from a 20 year Mesothelioma Survivor
Sunday, January 08, 2006
Steven Jay Gould was a Evolutionary Biologist at Harvard. He was a giant among Evolutionary theorists and a prolific writer. He also survived 20 years past his diagnosis of abdominal mesothelioma. He died in 2002 at aged 60 of a second apparently unrelated cancer beating his 8 month median survival thirty times over. Those 20 years proved to be the most productive of his career.
The essay he wrote about his cancer is a message of hope that all diagnosed with mesothelioma should hear.
