Episode Six: Prostate Cancer, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Support Services

In 2002, Dick Birnie was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. Soon after, it was discovered that he also had indolent, or slow-growing, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. His doctors began monitoring his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and over the next two years successfully treated him for prostate cancer. Six years later, Dick's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma became aggressive, requiring active treatment. Now, in 2010, Dick is healthy and enjoying his retirement from Dartmouth College, where he was a geology professor.
