Product Description
In stark, personal detail, Cameron Fulljames tells the story of his diagnosis of, fight against, and victory over cancer. Assembled from his diaries and written throughout the experience, this book documents the career he had to put on hold and the challenge he and his doctors had before them: a tumor that covered nearly one-fourth of his brain. Faced with the nightmares that accompany a brain tumor—seizures, paralysis, memory loss, deterioration, and death—Fulljames gathers his strength and chooses hope. He faces depression, despair, and overwhelming odds as he goes through treatment, and finds little in reference material to assuage his confusion and helplessness. Fulljames’ story is inspiring for cancer patients and survivors, their families, and others who believe in the power of sheer will to overcome a seemingly certain death.
