New York first responder faces his own emergency
Most people feel a sense of relief when they have lost some weight. For Sean Muranelli, age 36, each step onto the scale was a worrying reminder that his life was at risk. Muranelli, a nine-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, first knew something was wrong when he felt a lump on his neck while taking a shower. Unnerved, he went to see his doctor who had the lump analyzed. His diagnosis: metastatic adenocarcinoma, a cancer of the duodenum — the first part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach.
