You’re happily married, retired, fit and healthy, enjoying life and having a long, relaxing holiday in the sun. Then one day out of a clear blue sky, a thunderbolt strikes and suddenly your life is turned upside down.
This is the true story of one person’s fight of his life against cancer, bureaucracy and the apparent indifference of the medical profession. Though, rather tantalisingly, we never learn whether the author recovers from his illness, we do discover the things that truly matter to him in his life – his friends and his family, and above all his wife who shines like a beacon throughout the book.
A well written and beautifully constructed story, skilfully weaving anecdotes from his childhood through to current day, with detailed accounts of events surrounding his cancer diagnosis and his struggle to find appropriate treatment. Candid, witty, sad, emotional and funny, we find ourselves on a voyage of discovery both for the author and the reader.
A challenging, uplifting, thought provoking and heart-warming read.
