About This Item
New York: Vantage Press, 2008. Soft cover. Very Good. Signed by Author(s). Signed by author. First edition. Light wear. Pages are clean and binding is tight with no creases to spine. 257 pages. The author's account of his nearly forty-year heroic battle against cancer. Originally diagnosed with his first tumor at the young age of forty-four, in 1970, he underwent radical neck surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC. ''Three years later, a new, similar tumor developed on the opposite sid e of his neck requiring more radical surgery. Following the building of a new image, developing an exercise program that included running two marathons, and completing a successful career, cancer struck again. Mr. Oliver's encounter with recurring cancer, which he likens to the unpredictable attack of a hooded cobra, not only has a message for his fellow cancer survivors, but is inspiring, moving, and the pinnacle of bravery.
