Surviving Cancer Marathon is a powerful memoir that will inspire anyone facing adversity to find hope and purpose in the fight for survival. In this heartfelt and deeply moving story, Dana—once an elite marathon runner—receives a life-altering diagnosis of stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. With no time to waste, he turns to the strategies he knows best: setting goals, building resilience, and assembling a team that can help him face the toughest “race” of his life.

Through his personal journey, Dana offers readers practical advice, emotional insight, and a blueprint for survival. From decoding medical jargon and navigating complex treatment options to creating a purpose-driven support network, Dana empowers readers to take control of their health and future. His experience proves that even in the face of overwhelming odds, hope and determination can lead to profound triumphs.
