From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds
From Incurable to Incredible features 27 stories of cancer survivors who shocked everyone by overcoming a terminal prognosis.
You'll learn about Dave Massey, who in 1986 and again in 1997, was given six months to live. Today, he runs marathons and speaks at cancer centers nationwide to spread his message of hope.
Paul Falk, diagnosed 23 years ago at age 9 with acute leukemia, describes how his doctors wondered if he would survive two weeks. A year later, he wowed everyone by becoming the personal guest of then Vice President George H.W. Bush.
And then there's Ann Fonfa, who was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 1999. On Sept. 12, 2001, she learned she had no evidence of disease, as smoke billowed from the World Trade Center blocks away. Today she continues to be clear of cancer and leads the Annie Appleseed Foundation, a respected online clearing house for information on complimentary cancer therapies.
The book includes a list of common attributes these survivors share, thought-provoking questions for discussion and support groups and insights on survivorship from best-selling author Bernie Siegel, MD, and Doug Ulman, CEO and president of LIVESTRONG.
This book is not just for cancer survivors, but for anyone who wants inspiration for overcoming life's challenges. As Bernie Siegel says in his introduction, "From Incurable to Incredible as "a book everyone should read."
