The Cancer Code

the long version

When all attempts to cure his life-threatening illness fail, a young computer programmer decides to leave behind a legacy; software that, by reflecting the way the human minds works, brings tremendous gains in creativity and productivity. Working from an isolation room of a German cancer ward, the man writes his digital epitaph -- €”then survives. Undaunted by his continued health problems, he and his wife turn the program into a multi-million-dollar business. But more important, they transform their lives -- as the battle against chronic myeloid leukemia takes them down a path they would have otherwise never dared travel.
