This is the true story of my survival from four separate bouts of cancer. You are diagnosed with cancer. After the initial shock and feelings of panic subside, you decide you’re not going to be a victim. You’re going to do everything in your power to be a cancer survivor. You owe it to yourself—and to the people in your life, whether they are your spouse, children, parents or friends. You’re going to fight for survival. What do you do?
Bob has produced a literary and personal gem which is intuitively plotted with the surefooted stealth of fiction, pitch-perfect in tone, sinuous of language and not in the least repetitive for the tale of his having to overcome cancer four times over. ‘And again, and again and again’ could have constituted a death knell if not for him at least for his book, but it rather flows like a tragic boat cascading down a river of toxic chemistry.
