A 'must read' for anyone who has been touched by cancer
Having myself grown up in Dallas, I have watched Chip Moody for many years. There would always be a night when Mr. Moody wasn't in his usual anchor chair behind the news desk ~ he was back in the hospital. My brother was just diagnosed with cancer, and it appears to be the kind that the author of this book has ~ lymphoma. So I was not at all interested in reading a "sterile' medical thesis or a 'grab your hankie' sad story. Mr. Moody tells of his many adventures throughout life. Some have come from being in the profession that he is, and some from having the cancer that he has found himself facing. But be prepared to laugh, Mr. Moody has a real knack for telling stories! There are several chapters that deal with the cancer specifically and what he has gone through from the beginning. This was scary, yet reassuring to read ~ being not from a doctor's standpoint, but from a 'real' person's. The last chapter offers true words of encouragement, especially to those who are going through, or getting ready to go through this tough battle ~ be it as a patient, family member, or friend. I cannot give this book enough stars. Mr. Moody has made me realize that a person can fight back this debilitating disease. Although not all will be victorious in this battle, their courageous fight will enable future warriors more powerful weapons and skills on how to conquer this dreaded enemy. Thank you Mr. Moody ~ All my stars to you.
