“This piece is dedicated to my dear friend Maddie, who was diagnosed with Stage III Melanoma at the age of 23. Her hope is to provide a success story to other young adults who are struggling with cancer. The narrative is entirely her own, and the individual pieces are based on photos that she provided.”

 

Michael Prestgard-Duke, MD grew up in Salt Lake City and spent several years studying architecture before pursuing medicine. He loves soccer, backpacking, strong coffee, and sipping PBR on the porch with friends.
