The Triumphant Patient

Greg Anderson is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading wellness authorities, and is the founder of Cancer Recovery Foundation International, a global affiliation of national organizations whose mission is to help people prevent and survive cancer. Cancer Recovery Foundation focuses on the human services side of cancer. It does not fund clinical research or medical treatments. The foundation provides adults with training and support for implementing whole-person cancer prevention and survival strategies. Children with cancer and their families are served through the Children’s Project. The foundation has established affiliates in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.  Greg Anderson was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer in 1984. He was given thirty days to live. Refusing to accept the hopelessness of this prognosis, he went searching for people who had lived despite their doctors telling them they were “terminal.” His findings from interviews with over 16,000 cancer survivors form the strategies and action points for what has become an international cancer survival movement.
