Cancer is a harsh, ugly disease with serious consequences.

People should know this, I decide. All everyone hears about is so much money is being donated, raised, and given for research and finding a cure. This is achieved by using beautiful, colorful, fun advertising to entice us.

I believe that if people knew more about cancer treatment and patients talked about the ugly details of it all, I think there would be better understanding, real knowledge, and an urgency and compassion on everyone's part.

I think the gory details of it all is precisely what people need to hear. This book is a deeply personal, honest story that will make you wonder, understand, and move you along the way.
