Title: The "Emperor of All Maladies".... Post by jon019 on Nov 8th, 2011 at 9:10pm
...no, not ch...it's a book...a book about cancer...by Siddhartha Mukherjee...
A couple years ago I faced this "malady" and asked for help. I GOT it..in spades...and I am eternally grateful for this family....it just don't matter what "maladies" we all face...it's TOGETHER! I couldn't have made it so far without y'all....and the battle goes on..... Recently, I have decided that I don't need to "share" so much in this battle...and that has aggravated a few...I'm sorry...it's just me and I can't help it... THIS book has sucked my breath and made me cry more than a few times. I'm sure most all here have been touched, somehow, someway, by the big "C"...if so, you need to read this remarkable book... I don't do this type of thing often...this one is too important not to share... Best, Jon |

I'll be requesting it from my library tonight.
The reason we are aggravated is because we care about you! Be well, my friend. Jerry |

Pardon the lack of detail..a title is kind of ephemeral.
The book is a 2011 Pulitzer Prize winner..by an oncologist/medical historian. It's a history and overview we've never heard...poetically told....the triumphs and the tragedies...and the ongoing fight. Best, Jon |
