A Marine with a budding career as an F/A-18 fighter pilot, David Trombly received the shocking news that he had a rare terminal cancer—a Primary Lymphoma of Bone—from which there had never been a military survivor. With this knowledge, he and his wife, Megan, embarked upon the difficult research of alternative treatments. That propelled them into a battle for David’s life and also his military career.
