You Have Cancer, three of the most terrifying words in the human language. They can bring even the strongest person to their knees. Even though 43 percent of us will get a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime, it does not necessarily mean an end to dreams, hopes and aspirations. Meet 12 survivors, all in different decades of life, with different ethnic backgrounds and different cancers, who have been through the battle and come out on the other side, stronger, happier, and with a greater sense of purpose. Hear the stories of how they overcame one of life's greatest challenges, see the treatments firsthand that helped them do it, and find out how the experience forever changed them. Let them tell you about the opportunities that have come about because of their encounter, and get their secrets to victory over The Big C .
