Anthony Bookman: Breathing new life

Anthony Bookman was always a man on the move. As chief cook at Columbia’s Fort Jackson, he directed a team that served 2,800 meals per day, 365 days a year, and then managed a Bi-Lo bakery team. But all of that changed after two bouts with non-small cell lung cancer. He was intrigued by the chance to participate in Breathe Easier, a clinical research study at the University of South Carolina College of Nursing.
