Beating Incurable: 'I have cancer. Now what?'

“Beating incurable," produced by Gina DiPietro, follows a cancer patient through treatment. The inspiring podcast series covers Tim's journey in just an hour, where we learn how he finds the strength to keep moving forward, and how others can as well.

While he’s a glass-half-full philosopher by nature, Tim also makes clear that there are plenty of tough days. And that’s OK. They are also survivable. As time goes on, Tim lays out some big decisions about how the experience has changed him. He’s not glad he had cancer, but the experience, he believes, may be taking him to a better place.

In this episode, we introduce you to Tim and explain how his journey as a Novant Health patient began. Highlights include:

3:11 - Tim relies on faith to see him through.
4:34 - He's found strength watching his mother battle the same incurable disease.
5:33 - Struggling with a loss of independence.
6:28 - An admirable determination.
8:00 - Tim's journey began with neck and back pain. How that led to a cancer diagnosis.

We’ll also hear from oncologist Dr. Patricia Kropf and neurosurgeon Dr. John Berry-Candelario on Tim’s care and the approach they bring to all their patients at Novant Health.
