Byron Leavitt

Is there wonder in the dark?

Sometimes we have to venture into the night to see the glimmer of dawn. Sometimes we must journey beyond ourselves to observe the hovering hand of God.

Byron Leavitt fell ill in the fall of 2013 and was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. As he started his chemo therapy he began to write. He wrote of darkness and light, despair and hope, life and death. He chronicled his remarkable victories, and he catalogued his tragic defeats. But most of all, he wrote a story: one about falling into the abyss, and finding Someone there waiting to catch you.

This is that story. These are "The Cancer Diaries."
