From a cancer survivor comes this poignant and heartfelt book of poetry in which the author kicks and screams as Death tries to drag him toward the abyss. Genuine and human, full of strength and weakness, humor and despair, doubt and faith. The author asks the ubiquitous question, "Why me?' and "What did I do to deserve getting cancer?" Anyone who has cancer or loves someone who has cancer should read this book. If the author learned anything from his experience, it's that one does not
fight
cancer; one
surrenders
to the cure. The fighting comes afterward during recovery and rebuilding. Throughout his grueling ordeal, the author felt as if he were barely a hand's grasp out of reach of the Grim Reaper.
