Spoilers:

  • Both were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
  • Both have already had surgery
  • Both have made a complete recovery
  • Both have been in remission for years

This occurred in 2022 & 2023. They are both still alive because of recent breakthroughs in cancer treatment. If it had happened just years prior, they would have only been given months to live. All traces of cancer have been removed from their bodies despite it being found far-spread and metastasized in both of them. Bill required immediate surgery upon discovery, his daughter went through a period of time where she thought she was going to die.

Bill & Melanie also host a podcast called No Time But Now, centered around their shared experiences and survival stories. https://notimebutnow.com/

Stage 4 is no joke. My mother is battling it right now, Colon cancer. I look forward to the day where we discover a better treatment for cancer.
