How would you react if you were diagnosed with cancer? Unless you have been there, it’s difficult to imagine. Today’s guest, Rick Dancer,  relives this trip with us. He graciously takes us through his diagnosis, fears and questions he had in deciding what treatment would be right for him. Rick did a lot of research, not “settling” for a medical plan that would leave him with an outcome he found unacceptable.   During our interview it becomes apparent that he didn’t expect how this life changing diagnosis would ultimately impact his life in such a positive way.  About Rick Dancer: Rick is a journalist and visual storyteller. He spent 25 years reporting and anchoring the news in the Pacific Northwest. Today, he continues the art of mixing video and interviews producing a live “Get Real with Rick Dancer” nightly production. He and his wife travel the Pacific Northwest bringing viewers the backstories that rarely get told. Hey!
