She takes a once-in-a-lifetime chance and joins a clinical trial for immunotherapy, a revolutionary drug regimen that trains the body to vanquish malignant cells. Astonishingly, her cancer disappears entirely in just a few weeks. But at the same time, her best friend embarks on a cancer journey of her own-- with very different results. Williams' experiences reveal what it takes to weather disease, the extraordinary new developments in medical science-- and the healing power of human connection.
