Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl.

At an age characterized by the beginnings of independence, the increased reliance on parents that accompanies a cancer diagnosis often complicates care. Treatment is also likely to interrupt important life events, including school , social activities, friendships, romantic relationships, and jobs.
