Fred and Heather Schiller Are Coping With Cancer Through Love

What an honor it is to share episode #100 with you. Never did I realize when I launched the podcast 3 1/2 years ago that I would someday be talking about such a milestone. I could not think of a better way to celebrate this important episode than by sharing Heather and Fred's story. I met them at Fight CRC's annual Call-on Congress earlier this year. Heather serves as an ambassador for Fight CRC. Their story touched me in so many ways. During this interview we discussed Heather's wonderful progress in her clinical trial. When I saw Heather during our Skype interview - which was conducted in May, 2018 - I almost didn't recognize her; she looked that good! The three of us also discussed the impact has on a marriage and how they've relied on their love for each other, and their faith, to cope with Heather's disease.

Lee & Linda Silverstein

In 2011, just four months after they began dating, Lee was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer. A year and a half later, 17 days after their honeymoon, they learned that Lee’s cancer had spread to his liver; he was now Stage 4. Through numerous surgeries, chemotherapy infusions and assorted other treatments, Linda has been by his side. Despite cancer, Lee and Linda say unequivocally these have been the best years of their lives.

In 2015 Lee launched this podcast as a way to provide information, inspiration and hope to those affected by cancer.

Lee and Linda live in Florida with their Westie Terrier, Fergie.
