In this week’s episode, we learn the story of Dr. Tracy Koogler. Tracy had been practicing medicine at the University of Chicago for 18 years when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She overcame the lung cancer and then was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma, a very aggressive form of brain cancer. Following surgery and treatment of the Glioblastoma, another brain tumor appeared. Tracy tells her story of not giving up and fighting these cancers so she can continue doing what she loves – practicing medicine.
