How to Beat Cancer

Apparently this fellow bet that he would beat the doctor's predictions when he was given a short time to live.

Jon Matthews was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer in April 2007, a cancer linked to asbestos.

It has now been 25 months and a week since Mesolthelioma was diagnosed and he won about $10,000.

This seems to be the longest the doctors have ever heard of anyone surviving this type of cancer was 25 months.

I would say that the bet would give him an additional incentive to battle his illness. There is nothing like a good challenge, certainly getting out of credit card debt seems simpler.
