Together, Couple Married 35 Years Defeats Pancreatic and Bre

Summary: Philip and Linda Simmons have been married for 35 years. Recently, they faced the ultimate test of "in sickness and in health." First, Philip was lucky to catch pancreatic cancer very early during an unrelated kidney scan. He went through chemo, radiation, and robotic surgery at Cedars-Sinai.

Just days after he was declared cancer-free, Linda went in for a routine mammogram. Doctors found early-stage breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation. Thanks to a special cooling cap, she even kept her hair! Because both cancers were caught early, they were much easier to cure. Now, the happy couple is totally cancer-free and celebrating with a romantic cruise to Hawaii.
