Survivor Stories  Sallie Nangeroni  In 2003 her doctors found a
cancerous brain tumor, estimating that she had a year and a half
to live. Sallie Nangeroni wanted the best neurosurgeon in the
region. She came to HUP. Sallie was rightfully scared. Her
father died of brain cancer when he was just 40 years old, and
her husband's brother had just passed away from a brain tumor.
At the time she was diagnosed, Sallie just hoped that she would
be able to see all three of her sons graduate from high school.
Now, 7 years later, she has seen two of them graduate from
college, with one now in medical school. Her next goal is to see
her youngest son graduate from college next year.  One of
Sallie's passions is writing. Since she retired from teaching,
she has watched her three sons and many former students go
through the stress of the college admissions process. She
recently wrote a book for high school students using creative
thinking to help them find colleges that fit. Sallie continues
to travel from Doylestown to Penn
