Professor Arthur Frank suffered a heart attack at age 39, and 15 months later was diagnosed with cancer. He has written a book in which he says,

forced to think in new ways about the value of your life. Illness takes away parts of your life, but in so doing it gives you the opportunity to make a hard choice about the kind of life you will lead — as opposed to the one you have simply accumulated over the years.”
