A Father's Story is a portrait of a unique man and an incredible story of survival. Over 20 years ago, Jerry Dennehy was told to say goodbye to his family.
The doctors treating him for cancer did not expect him to survive the operation that would remove almost 80 percent of his stomach. He has since had prostate cancer twice and recently received treatment for lung cancer.
In this documentary, he talks openly with his daughter, broadcaster, Susan Dennehy, about his battles, his unusual methods of coping and the 'curse of an interesting life'.
Presented and Produced by Susan Dennehy
