As a fertility doctor, Michael Freeman is responsible for helping his patients bring new life into the world. Which makes his second bout with cancer all the more ironic. Yet, Michael's humor and optimism remain fully activated. "I'm still flossing," he told us when asked how he's changed his life to face the disease. Optimism abounds. This loving husband and father to three beautiful children helps us explore what happens emotionally when you get this diagnosis out of the blue, offers tips on how you interact with friends and colleagues, and shares what not to say to try to make him feel better. Happily, his treatment is going very well, and Michael's measured wisdom shines - enjoy the wins when you get them and keep stressful situations to a minimum, something we should all do more of. This is a Swan Dive into our own mortality and the critical choices we each must make to live life with humor, grace and definitive action.
