- Given a one-in-three chance of survival, Suleika Jaouad overcame leukemia in her 20s, documenting her nearly-four-year endurance of chemotherapy and her desire to live a normal life in a New York Times column, "Life, Interrupted." She followed with a 15,000-mile road trip to meet 22 of the many strangers who had written to her with stories of their own, a journey which became her new book, "Between Two Kingdoms." Correspondent Jim Axelrod talks with Jaouad, and with her partner, musician Jon Batiste, about life after cancer.

They are married now. Unfortunately the cancer is back, with a vengeance. Praying she will recover once again.
I join you in this prayer…🙏
🙏🏻
I'm 9 years out from a bone marrow transplant for leukemia. My daughter gets married on May 23. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
Jon's family did an excellent job raising him. He is gifted, bright and talented but yet down to earth. As he said, we are here temporarily, and tomorrow is not promised to us.
Wow! Both John Batiste & Suleika Jaouad are extraordinarily people with a rare sensitivity & a profound understanding of Life, pain, hardship, & love!! They are an awesome & amazing couple!!
What a beautiful inspiring courageous young woman. So sad to hear her cancer is back. I hope she can beat it again and both her and John have a long life together. The World needs more people like them. 🙏
Amen, Dee. 🙏🏽
Two beautiful souls Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad. May you both share many happy years together. Thanks for sharing your story.
"Healing is something we will all do for the rest of our lives." Thank you.
Yap, i was wondering why can't i heal...but it is something makes you...you. Embrace it peacefully.
Suleika & Jon make such a beautiful couple. I hope they will have many happy healthy years together. 👩🏼❤️👨🏽❤️❤️
"To say that I'm healed implies that healing is an endpoint... and I think that healing is something that we all will do, for the rest of our lives". Words to live by, for sure.
This woman has more power, strength, endurance, and grace than I could ever have. What an amazing woman!
As a cancer survivor after 15 years on and off of surgeries and treatments, and now 20 years post last diagnosis, I embrace Suleika’s understanding of never healed, but moving on. I look forward to reading her book.
OMG, what a beautiful sharing of an extraordinary experience. Love this young woman and her creativity and strength. Extra bonus finding out she is with Jon Batiste... we adore him and his musical talents. Sending love and hugs to you both.
Is she "with" him? I found that part of the story oddly nebulous. Apparently others did as well.
@@carlwilliams6977 They have been together for ten years.
@@carlwilliams6977 Yes, they have been a couple for years.
@@carlwilliams6977 and they smash nasties
Their married
What an incredible courageous and precious soul. She is a gift and example to all of us. May God bless her and Jon with a long, healthy life.
Love them both.
Amen 🙏
Yes they are both incredible 🤗❤️🙏👏💕
I could listen to Sukeika all day.
I sincerely hope she and Jon get to have a long and happy life together.
Sending love, light and healing prayers to Suleika! What a beautiful couple of kids!
He is a true gem, and she is an inspiration. Many can relate to her experiences. This world is lucky to have them. ♥️
Two gems and beautiful souls. Wishing you everything good in this world ❤️🌹🌹🙏
I think it's pretty lucky and wonderful that these two people found each other, and he was there for her when it mattered. Jon just creamed off 5 Grammys out of 8 nominations, they got married just before that, they've bought a new house with no furniture in it yet (just Grammys so far) and so their life together is off to a pretty good start.
11 nominations :)
"Are you healed?"
Then comes the only truth left... God Bless you Suleika and may you always be as Blessed as you are this very moment. 💛☀️💐
What a cool idea to do a road trip to meet and thank strangers who inspired her during her first battle with cancer. May there be an opportunity for her to do a second trip or something else to commemorate her second battle.
I always say that it is such an honor to choose ONE person out of the billions of people walking this earth 🌍 to share this sometimes difficult experience of human existence. Too many of us take it for granted. So glad this young woman is healing and found love ❤️
“That’s life, man. Strap in.” Says it all. Beautiful human beings.
What a story. I wish Suleika and John the very best. To healing.
I adore her! A bright light! So sorry this beast has come back to you! I hope and pray for a healing. From a survivor in Texas!
What a beautiful young woman. Inspirational for sure.

Love goes on and on”

So much wisdom, so much beauty ~ magical combination !
It's nice she had a dog to keep her company on her trip and her struggle. Sometimes it helps to find the words communicate to get through an experience. Not so easy to write a book when you are so ill.
I love Jon. He has a wonderful journey ahead with this beautiful soul of a woman.
My heart is aching. . . but hopefulness is soaring.!
It’s at a time like this that I want to reach through my computer screen and just give Suleika a giant hug. 🤗💖
What a brave brilliant woman!!
A Brave and Inspiring Woman.
Amazing person. What an inspiration. Can’t wait to read her book.
The "between" is rarely spoken of, and I deeply appreciate Ms. Jaouad's eloquence in describing this place. She communicates from a place of wisdom, yet is so humble in her choice to ask strangers for help with her healing process. I know that I can learn from her and will be ordering her book. Thank you CBS Sunday Morning for this important interview.
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
I'm just jealous that her vintage Volkswagen van has that refreshing vent-window...

Beautiful, moving, inspiring story...
💖 ⚕️ 🎹
Beautiful human, beautiful soul.
You and John are such a beautiful couple. God bless you and John. Sending love and prayers for a long healthy happy life for you both.
Praying for your recovery🙏 may God bless you and Jon on this new chapter in your life
This needs to be a movie!
Searching for Suleika after reading her memoir. I cried a lot while reading her book.
Two fantastic and inspiring souls finding each other.
Wow Suleika is so so beautiful. God please take care of this girllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. So is so sweet and living person.
Please heal he very soon.

This woman is a Rockstar.what an amazing soul
It was nice to see them together on camera, even if it was brief.
So true that we are all on a healing journey the rest of our lives.
My feelings exactly I’m living with (battling) stage 4b uterine cancer 90% gone and I’m doing chemo treatments every 21 days thank you and I’m getting your book
My Prayers going her way May god hear her 🙏
SURVIVOR!!!🙏💕☮️
Such a beautiful story. I’m so moved.
Thank you, this came right when needed.
What an impressive couple! May they have a long, healthy and happy life together :-)
God Bless you both
What a wonderfully well done story on a remarkable person. I did not know about Suleika Jaouad before I watched this. I now want to read "Between Two Kingdoms," ASAP.
Su’leka - I hope you and Mr. Batisite are Lovers!!!! What a 💕
I know my next book to read.......thank you and God bless Suleika
Bless her. What a model. Jon is a lucky man. ♥️
Touched my ❤ heart,
I just finished the book. Amazing. I am a huge fan of both she and Jon.
As a breast cancer patient with an RV and a passion for road tripping, this book was a little too on the nose for me! Yet, I enjoyed it and draw strength from Suleika’s.
Such an amazing couple!
She is an inspiration to so many! Her relationship with Jon has proven that love sees no boundaries. The combo is a beautiful blending of wisdom, kindness and respectfulness for all. So glad these two have ea h other as soulmates.
My... what an incredible encouraging life. Be blessed.
I've recently read her book "Between Two Kingdoms" and I am in awe of her courage and the way she just kept going throughout the extreme sickness she was feeling, in what seemed like forever. There was no quit in her game. The book is amazing and a quick read, I couldn't put it down. I had no idea of her story when I bought the book but I'm so glad I ran across it on Amazon. Cheers from Oklahoma to Suleika & Jon! I hope they have many happy years ahead.
P.S. Oscar stole my heart :) P.S.S. I have a male cousin in Sarasota, Florida that is 66 and going through this exact diagnosis and on the journey to find good days again - he is a year into the treatment and now on the maintenance chemo drugs.
How humble this lady is. May you be blessed with goodness.
Very touching story 🧡
I pray she pulls through and gets 100% better. She and Jon deserve a life together with out the fear of that relentless disease
Awesome segment
WOW. What a bright soul.
Proving one again..NEVER Give UP !..coz The very best Lovers,an Romances in Life.can start out being.. Purely Accidental..Eg Suleika an Jon both finally finding Romantic Bliss.
So inspirational 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for this!!! CHAMPION ! She met the challenge and exceeded it.....she found PURPOSE in the face of life threatening circumstances and found a way to continue and found 💘
May you a long life ahead you
Great story
So beautiful! Inside and out!
Very nice and continue to bless her always.
I am "pulling" for you, Mrs. Batiste! Isn't that a fun thing to be able to say? I have gotten to know about you and then was interested in finding out more! I am grateful to you for seeking to understand what it is you are to do and then doing it--so far! I pray for many more years- for time- to do what it is you were put here to do. You are absolutely gorgeous, btw, and I hope that does not embarrass you. My daughter, and myself, too, have been bald from the illnesses and the treatments for the types of cancer that we had and it was really something to be that "in touch" with the wind, a breeze, the physical world around me with that act of removing the hair of the head. That was an interesting surprise. Both of my eyebrows went, of course but my daughter found it amusing when she lost hers but only 1 at a time! "Survival is it's own kind of creative act." I love how you put that! Thank you for sharing with everyone. My daughter has left this mortal coil-yet I have survived. My daughter knew herself--she walked with intention-she slow-walked her way through life and watched everything. I knew from the night she was born that she was going to be strong and be "a watcher." I have a picture to prove it! :) So we soldier on! I am very happy that you and John B. found each other. What a fabulous love. That is incredibly special and wonderful. My daughter's experience was the opposite- the man who swore he loved her left. So she sat with that and dealt with it, too, in her own way. I am so proud to have been able to be her Mother. And I am so glad to be able to have this opportunity to reach out to you and give you my support, which comes in forms of thinking, praying and deciding to let that be sent out for whatever it is you need at the moment, according to your own beliefs! Congratulations to your Groom/husband and best wishes to his Bride/wife! May you have many happy and fruitful years to come and live in Light and in Love and in Learning.

Read her book "Between Two Kingdoms". She is a very talented writer with an important story to tell.
Praise God
What a great journey and opportunity to grow. Will definitely buy the book. Good luck to you and thank you for reminding us all how precious life is.
Thank you for doing this story. I so agree with Suleika's final sentiment that life is a journey of healing. This is something I've recently come to understand, though I would put it a little different way: life is a journey to the self, which takes healing in many ways and forms to reach.
Beautiful! I am reading her book now and it's wonderful to see some videos of her here.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Inspiring young woman, beautiful report. Life must be really musical next to Jon Baptiste!
OK OK je vais voire 2 de de me faire ça avec
Very moving story thank you for sharing! Cant wait to read "Between Two Kingdoms,"
Wonderful story. I hope she and John may have a long life together.
And even in this there is love ! Thinking no one could and yet he did and does love her ! This a book that I want to read and just learn more ! ❤😷
Proud of the way you handled the hand you were felt and the way you are dealing with it , many blessings .
Such an inspiration!
I love scrabble!! I got really really good at it in JAIL!!!! Lol true
Most Benevolent Outcome for her and everything will turn out better than she can ever expect.
You are awesome! I love what you of done!❤️🙏
Praying for her and Jon.❤️🙏🏽🦋
