Both Martha and Tom are cancer survivors.
Tom had surgery for prostate cancer in September of 1995, radiation treatment in 1999 and participated in three experimental immunotherapy treatment programs at Duke University Medical Center.

His urologist says he will live to a ripe old age.
Martha had surgery for breast cancer in March of 1997.
