What I Learned from Cancer - Kindle Edition

Reviews

"I found Dennis Maione’s compelling journey, told with a twist of humour and a healthy dose of practical advice, was hard to put down once started." from http://bit.ly/fhreview

"It is ... a[n] honest and well written accounting of the fears and struggles that one goes through when faced with a diagnosis like cancer, along with some valuable lessons that are widely applicable. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a friend or loved one who is going through a significant illness or who is facing a difficult diagnosis. Quite frankly it is a book that every oncologist should read." from http://bit.ly/IMReview

"Dennis is a great communicator, and his style of story-telling is evocative and compelling. Whether it is the shock and bewilderment of discovering cancer at an early age, grief as he must inform his children that they also may have the same cancer-friendly gene, or light-hearted humor as he shares stories of dealing with abdominal stitches while at a comedy festival, Dennis has a way of making the reader feel like a part of the story." from http://bit.ly/RMcRev

"Powerful, poignant, practical" (from the cover)

 

Description

What I Learned from Cancer is part narrative, part reflection, and part primer. Readers first follow the story of Dennis Maione’s 20-year journey through two cancers and the diagnosis of a genetic condition that ensures, one way or another, his journey is ongoing. Marked by wit and wisdom alongside poignance and passion, this tale has laugh-aloud humour while acknowledging the struggle to find life and hope in the midst of trying times. Next, reflective essays present cancer as a journey not to be undertaken alone or without the right tools. Here, Maione explores the many dimensions of community. Written as advice for his 27-year-old self getting cancer for the first time, this is a glimpse into the soul of a cancer survivor. Finally, a series of imagined conversations with a doctor tackles such questions as: “What is cancer?” “How can cancer be treated and prevented?” “How are genetics linked to cancer?” and “How can I tell if my family has bad genes?” The narrative is compelling, the essays riveting, and the conversations stimulating and informative. This is a book to be read and then shared with your friends and family.
