"I'm at Peace." Lee Silverstein Treasures the Final Days of a Life Well Lived

Man Up to Cancer

When I think about today’s guest, which is often, I think of his thoughtfulness, curiosity, joy, his welcoming nature, his beautiful heart.

Lee Silverstein is joining us from his home in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Lee is a natural helper of people; As a career management professional, he has been a consultant, mentor, and coach helping students, executives, and others land jobs or change careers.

He is a public speaker and Podcaster and I first got to know him by listening to his We Have Cancer Podcast.

He has been living for more than 12 years with stage IV colorectal cancer. To put that in perspective, less than 15 percent of people with his diagnosis live past 5 years.

Lee became part of the Man Up to Cancer community, and our Howling Place FB group, soon after it launched in 2020, and since that time he has become a beloved member. Guys look up to him for his openness, wisdom, and humor.

He recently reached a point where treatment is no longer working, there are no interventions to stop the disease, and he has entered into hospice care.

Today, we are going to talk about Lee’s passions, his family, his transition to hospice and the legacy he will leave for all of us.
