Description
Doug Worthen's second appearance on the podcast switches gears from his role as a mindfulness teacher and administrator to that of a more personal tone.  Doug discusses his diagnosis and subsequent recovery from Lymphoma, the arduous treatment and ultimately the doctor who saved his life.  Doug credits his mindfulness practice with allowing him to let the recovery happen, what Doug calls "unfolding" as opposed to the traditional term of "battling" cancer.  He is also not afraid to have a frank and honest talk about death.
