“Dr. Chaturvedi has provided us with a compassionate glimpse into the world of a father and his family fighting side by side with love, faith, and determination. This is a must-read for those mired in a struggle with cancer.” —Phil Kemp, PhD, Coauthor, Twin Motives: Deceptive Hearts, Dark Secrets
“This book is a rich source of information for cancer patients, caregivers, and health care providers. Arvind Chaturvedi is a cancer survivor, and his personal experience provides a wonderful example of the way support from family and friends can greatly enhance the well-being of the patient.” —Phyllis Yount, LCSW, Blood and Marrow Transplant Social Worker, Baylor University Medical Center
“Many people, at one time or another, have a life changing experience, such as facing death up close and personal. This true story is a glimpse into just such an event, and the fear of the author as he realizes exactly what is going on, is almost palpable. Somehow he is able to turn his fears and doubts into survival mode, and his family support is truly heartwarming. In reading this book, one may have some good insight into how to survive when that darkest night arrives unexpectedly and certainly unwanted. Excellent book!” —Phil H. Berry, MD, Founder, Southwest Transplant Foundation
“This book provides a unique look into how a deadly disease like cancer affects people. The author describes certain personality changes that may often occur during the course of disease and that ‘healthy people’ are not even aware of. The book is not only a fascinating account of the author’s own journey but also reads like a novel that demands that readers quickly turn to its final pages.” —John W. Soper, PhD, Fellow, American Academy of Forensic Sciences
“I read your book over the weekend. It was absolutely incredible! I found it an enjoyable read which was well-written, honest, endearing, and with a powerful message. I am very moved by the ending chapter and your thoughts on leading a good life and Karma. I’m sure it will affect and help many people.” —Anonymous
“I was deeply touched to read the book.” — Professor, South Dakota State University
“I read your book and was incredibly moved by it. Your first hand perspective was remarkable and a reminder to keep life in perspective because of the uncertainty of it all, and to pray. I think it takes such strength not only to face such an ordeal but to detail it afterwards as you did. It will give many people hope.” —Anonymous
“It must have been very difficult to re-live the moments and share your personal struggle with other people. But it certainly helped me understand what cancer is and how difficult it is to go through the treatment process.” —Monica Lee
“I am grateful to Dr. Chaturvedi for putting together all his experience during this ordeal in the form of a book that all of us can benefit from.” —President, WBF
