The book is a combined memoir and medical saga of one large family's multi-year battle with cancer, with a victory and a tragedy. Although it describes the unusual circumstance of a family in which a physician father and a son were stricken by advanced-stage, early-onset cancers, the book primarily focuses on the inspiring story of the son, who--at age 29--was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and fought valiantly for 3 years before succumbing at 32. The son's diagnosis reflected an alarming development--the global rise of cancer in younger people. The book is framed to be helpful to cancer sufferers and their families and offers wide information about the science behind cancer and its treatment--past, present, and possible future. It also chronicles the harsh experience of undergoing treatment, faced with extraordinary courage. The book deals with family, love, loss, science, and spirituality.
