Love and cancer

What began as a way to be closer with her parents and to cope with their illness grew into something bigger. For two years, as Howie and Laurel Borowick each fought stage IV cancer side-by-side, photographer Nancy Borowick documented their close bond. She talked with correspondent Anthony Mason about the pain and love she experienced and witnessed, and about her moving new book, "The Family Imprint," which chronicles her parents' lives and deaths. An exhibition of Borowick's photos opens at Anastasia Photo in New York City May 16, 2017.

A videogame memorial

Joel Green was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2010 when he was just one year old. The tumors left him partially blind and unable to speak. But at first the treatment was working.

That Dragon, Cancer is an impressionistic game that chronicles Joel's battle with cancer and the emotional ups and downs of caring for him. Ben Tracy reports. Originally broadcast on March 12, 2017.
