Monje's oncologist explained that even an advanced diagnosis is not a death sentence, thanks to revolutionary changes in cancer care and technology.
A generation ago, the typical cancer patient cut a very different profile than Monje: older, with an empty nest, and more financially secure.
Monje represents, in many ways, the new generation of cancer survivor: younger, less financially secure, navigating life after treatment from dating to career.
New drugs and immunotherapies target and destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact, providing hope to those with metastatic disease.
