An honest look from the author Steven P. Shepard who beat cancer. He describes his journey on what it takes to beat cancer. He arms you with all the unanswered questions one would have for a medical doctor. The book takes you through a expedition from the start of early symptoms through the staging (how advanced the cancer is - post diagnosis), chemotherapy treatment or other types of radiation. One of the most instrumental areas of the book is where the author discusses cancer treatment and its side effects (nausea, fatigue, discoloration and bruising). The author is so honest that he even recommends other texts that aided him through the mental battles you would encounter going through the fight of your life - Highly recommend - 5/5 STARS
