I ordered this book shortly after being diagnosed with lung cancer. It is so helpful, hopeful and positive. The author has lived through a very scary and advanced stage of lung cancer and has given this book to people like me as a guide through this disease. The writing is very straight forward, the content is very inspirational and useful and the book is really concise. The medical books I have read since reading this have backed up everything I read in this book. I highly recommend this book as a powerful and bright beginning of anyone battle with lung cancer.
