Surviving the Storm: A Family's Struggle and Ultimate Victory over Cancer

"I am looking through the bars of my hospital bed at the faces of my wife and my two children. I am forty-seven years old and I am dying. I have less than three months to live and will not see my children grown or my grandchildren born. I have cancer." Those words begin a journey through a labyrinth of experimental drug treatments, misdiagnoses, and seven operations. To keep their sanity through long month of hospital treatments, and unknown to one another, each of the authors began to write. This is their story. It is a book which takes the reader through the private thoughts and experiences of family members as each struggles to deal with the impending death. Unlike may books written in similar situations, this book reads like a suspense novel. Many situations are funny and provide insight into the human spirit's undying optimism. Surviving the Storm is a story of love and of strength in the face of death, all the while confronting the reader with their own personal ghosts and fears. It is, above all, a life line of hope in a sea of hopelessness.
