Linda Campbell of Lexington, North Carolina was diagnosed with Melanoma a rare, but deadly form of cancer in 2000. She was treated and cured, but in 2007 found that the cancer had spread to her liver. Dr. Richard Alexander, a surgical oncologist at the Greenebaum Cancer Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center urged her to try an new and experimental form of treatment. This treatment sends the chemo drug through catheters to the liver. Almost all of Campbell' s cancer has disappered because of this treatment.
The lead of this story was very long, it only told about Linda Campbell and not the treatment at all, which is what the story was about. This did however make the story more readable because it gave the story a personality before slamming the reader with docotor terminology.
