ExclusiveWhy T-cell Lymphoma Cancer Didn’t Faze Pat Croce｜Vital Signs

If you were in Philadelphia over the nineties and early 2000s, and had even an inkling of interest in basketball - then you would certainly know Pat Croce.

After becoming owner and president of the Philadelphia 76ers, he propelled the ‘last place’ team to the NBA finals 2001. That was on the back of selling his chain of physical therapy centers for a cool $40 million. But was he happy? Despite these achievements, a pressing question loomed over him. “My wife would always say, ‘What are you chasing Pat? What are you afraid of?’ … I had no clue … I thought the voice in the head was me.”

Turning 60 brought profound changes. A T-cell lymphoma diagnosis led Mr. Croce to a new conquest – cancer. As a veteran physical therapist, he was adept at conditioning his body. Now, he had to condition his soul. On #VitalSigns, host Brendon Fallon discusses this inner transformation that helped him navigate through T-cell lymphoma.
