Defining the 'Cancer Zombie' Experience

Author Jonathan Gluck says most cancer stories take one of two forms:  “He or she fought valiantly and died, or he or she fought valiantly and survived.” But Gluck, who was told in the prime of life that he had an incurable type of blood cancer, has a different kind of story.  Dr. Sanjay Gupta sits down with Gluck to discuss his new book, “An Exercise in Uncertainty: A Memoir of Illness and Hope,” and what two decades of living with cancer have taught him – and might teach us – about living well.
