Beating Cancer: A Blueprint for Survival
Author Helps Cancer Patients Develop Positive Paths to Life Extension and
Recovery
JERICHO, N.Y., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In his debut memoir, "No Expiration
Dates: A Cancer Patient's Strategies for Survival" (published by iUniverse),
Leon Weisman recounts his unique and inspirational battle with lung cancer
while also offering practical advice about the emotional and social changes
that a cancer diagnosis can bring to a patient as well as a family embarking
on the fight to stay alive.
Undoubtedly, Weisman's success with battling cancer gives him the experience
to address the questions and concerns that constantly threaten to disrupt
normal life. Utilizing literary quotes from his teaching career, humorous
observations about his time as a patient, and his insight into mental
pressures of such a life-threatening disease, Weisman offers readers his own
blueprint for living well while surviving cancer, covering topics like
doctor-patient relationships, the importance of a support system as well as
family, and the world of chemotherapy.
But "No Expiration Dates" isn't just your ordinary cancer book, either.
Weisman's confident and literary voice adds that inviting, charming tone that
other authors trade for medical jargon. Of course, Weisman offers the medical
details and firsthand hospital experience that cancer patients need when
approaching doctors about their treatments, but he also understands that the
heart must be healed as well. Laughter is truly the best medicine, and his
unparalleled mastery of storytelling only helps comfort those who have
suffered at the hand of this terrible disease.
Filled with as many medical recommendations as funny anecdotes about his
personal experience, all of which give patients new hope for survival, his
memoir embodies the true spirit of a person with a new lease of life. Whether
readers are battling cancer or have a loved one suffering from its taxing
symptoms, "No Expiration Dates" demonstrates wholeheartedly that a bright
future awaits everyone who thinks positively and never gives up.
