Ken Burns’ new production, ‘Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies,’ explores the history, future and impact of the disease. It is scheduled to air on PBS stations March 30, 31 and April 1 (WITF and WHYY, at 9:00 pm ). Next Avenue gathered clips from the show, including moving personal narratives of facing the scary diagnosis head on. Watch them below. We also offer an array of articles on coping with cancer, part of a PBS-wide focus on the disease this month. To the right are stories submitted by viewers from around the country. As science brings us closer to a cure, our hope is to connect all of us affected by cancer. - SOURCE: nextavenue
