Last Summer I went to the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa for some surgery and their staff treated me very well. I asked the Physican's Assistant if she enjoyed her job and she gave a very strong Yes.

She said she had read the book "Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddhartha Mukherjee and it had really motivated her. The book is sub-titled 'A Biography of Cancer' and I very much enjoyed reading it.

Using the book as a guide, Ken Burns did a three-part miniseries on PBS about cancer treatment. We bought it and thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
