  • Author and screenwriter Delia Ephron, who is no stranger to romantic storylines, has lately been living one - having lost her first husband, she married a man she'd first dated half a century ago. But their wedding occurred in the hospital, where she was undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia. CBS News' Dr. Jon LaPook talks with Ephron about her memoir, "Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life"; about a gut-punch of a medical prognosis; and how love kept her going.

    "Who forgets an Ephron girl!?!" I love that comeback!
    I have been an orphan and a widow and dealt with trauma... writing released so much pain. One cannot endure such things without expressing in some way, paint a picture, take up Improv, so many ways to just get that out... to take thoughts that rattle around in your brain and express them. I read that article and it did move me.
    Last year, out of the blue after such an eccentric yet grief-stricken life, I got a cancer diagnosis. It's in my genes, yet I was totally unaware as there has never been cancer in my family. It is difficult and you do feel alone because it is, in fact, your battle... but it reminds you connections are the most important thing to keep in our lives, no matter what comes our way.
    Best wishes to Delia, and all other cancer diagnosis survivors. Correction .. best wishes to all!

    Love those Ephron sisters. It doesn't quite seem like the holidays without one of their "family dynamic" films. So talented, and I hope much joy to Delia in the future. Some of us have been through the mill. Live to tell.

    Resilience in the face of personal disaster (in this case, a string of sad news) -- always an inspiration to us all.
    Best wishes to Ms. Ephron and her husband Peter.

    This is the same thing that people and families all over the world confront daily. I find her story no more compelling than theirs or mine. At least she didn’t have to use social media fundraisers to pay for travel and treatment expenses in the greatest country in the world. Why are people obsessed with celebrity?

    Delia, Blessed to hear from you. If you can keep on believing in second chances, while fighting cancer, and recovering from losses that hurt you in the past, then you will have that ultimate strength, to keep moving forward for yourself. 🕊🤍☮️
