Dr. David Servan-Schreiber

I hope it is okay to post this here...mods, please feel free to move it if not.

Sadly, Dr. Servan-Schreiber lost his battle with brain cancer after 20 years from his initial diagnosis. He is a true inspiration, and a testament to the power of an integrative approach when fighting this beast.

So sad Cry .

I like his quote:

"Death is part of life. It happens to everyone. Profit from now, do the important things."

This news takes my breath away. His show and his book changed my life. He obviously impacted many of us who battle cancer. Too sad.

I'm so, so sad and upset by this. He's been my roll model and something to hang on to through out this dx.

I am very sad to hear this news. I found his book empowering. I have made many lifestyle changes due to it and have purchased this book for several people that I know that are battling this disease. It really knocked the wind out of my sail to hear he is gone. I am very grateful to him.

I am still very upset as well. Yes, he went 20 years with this most aggressive tumor (that could have killed him in a matter of months). He's been living proof of the value of integrative oncology.
