Kelly Pearsall - Metastatic MelanomaFor many years, Kelly Pearsall tried to get pregnant but was unsuccessful. Then, at the age of 38, she lost her father to cancer. Not long after, Kelly learned she was pregnant. "The timing was crazy," she recalled. "It was miraculous - as if my dad were watching over me." A couple of years later, when Kelly turned 40, she had her second daughter. Kelly felt very fortunate and had found true happiness in motherhood. Then, in January 2009, her life was turned upside down when she was told she had months to live. |

Joseph Buglak - MelanomaJoseph Buglak lives close to Fox Chase Cancer Center in nearby Abington, Pennsylvania. For years, Joe was aware of what Fox Chase had to offer, but never thought he might one day require its services himself. He was also aware of a spot on his leg, but did not think it was anything serious. |

Edward Bandtlow - Non-Melanoma Skin CancerUp until July 2008, Ed Bandtlow, a busy executive career coach, had been ignoring the suspicious spot on his face. A physician friend finally told Ed that he was long overdue to see a dermatologist. Ed, who admittedly dragged his feet too long, looked on-line for a young doctor who used cutting edge techniques. Dr. Perlis diagnosed Ed with squamous cell carcinoma (non-melanoma skin cancer) on the left side of his face. But that was only the beginning. |
