About the event
When Terry Miller was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer two and a half years ago, the cancer had metastasized to her hip, thigh, adrenal gland and brain. One day after a scan, she spoke about an image that came to her: of the cancer cells as campers traveling through her body, pitching tents and roasting s'mores around a fire. She brought it up again and again, until her daughter, Amanda, finally asked her if she wanted to write a show together. And with that was born.Quacks and Whacks
