A stirring account of a 22-year-old's struggle against the ravages of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It explores the harsh reality of having to face one's own mortality - and with it the twin demons of uncertainty and fear. Six Months to Live is about facing death, rather than trying to ease our way around it with the least pain. Matt and his wife, parents, and doctor grappled with the anguish of his impending death, but they never really came to terms with it. Rather, they met it head on, and let it transform them.
