WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A SOLE MAN?: My sister-in-law, Cindy Hemsath, made me do it. As a thoracic surgeon, I have spent many years dealing with cancer patients and experienced their confusion about which treatments to pursue. When Steve (CCA's Executive Director) told me about the mission of CCA, I was instantly hooked.  It fills an urgent need in a vulnerable patient population. Oh, and Cindy made me do it.
