...stimulation is mutual. "Sol is nothing short of spectacular," says Dr. Eugen Hug, chief of radiation oncology at the cancer center. "His sheer presence and energy are inspiring to everyone. When you see someone his age having this tremendous mental agility and creativity, he becomes a role model, whether he wants to or not." Radiation oncology nurse Anita Concilio believes that Levenson "reminds patients that life goes on, even with a cancer diagnosis.
