Unbelievable Cancer Conqueror
The Cancer Center for Healthy Living and the
Peoria Cancer Center Foundation are coming
together June 6th to bring in one of the most
remarkable cancer survivors of all time! Sean
Swarner is a two-time cancer survivor who was
first diagnosed at age 13 with Hodgkin's Disease
and later with Askin's sarcoma. He was given
two weeks to live in 1990 and is believed to
be the ONLY person in the world to have been
diagnosed with both deadly cancers. However,
he did survive. Sean has only one functioning
lung due to the removal of a golf ball sized
tumor found with the Askin's diagnosis. Today,
he has climbed the Seven Summits of the world
and has helped provide hope and inspiration to
thousands if not millions of people living with
cancer. You will not want to miss Sean telling
his inspirational story at the On Top of the
World Event.
