En attendant Godot

چکیده
Eric Shanteau, who was a member of US Olympic Swim team, heard the three of the most chilling words just one week before the US Olympic trials: “You have cancer.” Regardless of his misfortune, he decided to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics, where he posted a personal best time in the 200 meter breaststroke. After returning to his hometown, he underwent surgery and has become a legendary cancer survivor. He recently nominated Drs. Douglas J. Schwartzentruber in Goshen Center for Cancer Care and Larry W. Kwak in University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, who are on the trail of a cancer vaccine, as the most influential thinkers for ‘TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World’. He sincerely comprehends their earnest efforts in the cure for cancer, which could bring about at long last relief from cancer anxiety.
