Surviving
After getting through a recurrence of lymphoma that damaged the base of my spine, I’m left pondering the concept of survival and how it's not as easy as it seems. In a series of interviews with people who have experienced all kinds of life-changing disease and trauma, I explore what it means to survive and perhaps, at some point, live happily ever after.

Episode 4
At the end of July, 2017, Paul Tekwsbury wasn't feeling so great. One month later, he learned he had leukemia; one month after that, the chemotherapy that was treating his cancer left him dead of a heart attack--but only for 35 minutes. His personal journey there and back filled him with so much gratitude he wrote and recorded an album's worth of music to express his thanks.
Paul's album can be found on his website or on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, etc. Paul's journey was also written up in the Washington Post and Bethesda Magazine.
