The Truth About Cancer

Emmy Award-Winning Filmmaker Takes On The Question 'How Far Have We Come In the War on Cancer?'

"What is the truth about cancer? Is it the same deadly killer it was 30 years ago -- or are we making progress? Find out through the poignant stories of patients battling the disease in The Truth About Cancer premiering nationally on PBS Wednesday, April 16 at 9:00pm ET."

Part science, part personal catharsis, part character-driven storytelling, the 90-minute documentary is narrated by Linda Garmon, who tells the moving story of her husband's battle with cancer. Sounds like it will be quite the tear jerker.

Following the 90-minute documentary is a 30-minute panel discussion entitled Take One Step: A Conversation About Cancer with Linda Ellerbee. News journalist and breast cancer survivor Linda Ellerbee moderates the dialogue featuring a panel of doctors, all of whom are cancer survivors themselves.
