WEST CHESTER TWP. - Small-businessman John Browne says a near-fatal bout with cancer five years ago was probably the best thing that could have happened to him.

During months of chemotherapy following successful surgery to remove aggressive cancer that threatened his liver, Browne researched his dream of starting his own business. Now, Prestige Unlimited Services, a full-service residential and commercial cleaning service that Browne operates from his home, employs half a dozen people. From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
