"Scenes From a Transplant" follows one woman's battle with cancer. Rebecca Perl learned she had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma six months after giving birth to a baby boy. Months of chemotherapy and radiation proved unsuccessful, leaving only one treatment possibility: a lethal dose of chemotherapy followed by a life-saving bone marrow transplant. This award-winning documentary - now an hour long PRX special - follows her story through the transplant.
