Ricky B: F*ck Cancer—Breakdown to Breakthrough

Psych ward at 29 years of sobriety was the last thing Ricky B. thought happen. But after an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, he found the distant darkness that had plagued him in the past snuck back in. And the only option that made sense was to take his life. Yet he kept that all to himself. Yet another example that people are facing their own battles all the time, even if it isn't obvious. Ricky shares his heart-wrenching story as he turns his life around, identifies past resentments, and like a phoenix out of the ashes, finds true peace and serenity once again.
