Just Life| When Breath Becomes air

Imagine studying for many years to become a neurosurgeon, then one day, a diagnosis changes your life forever.
 
"When Breath Becomes Air" is the memoir of Paul Kalanithi, a young neurosurgeon who faces cancer at the peak of his career.

The book is a glimpse into the life of a promising surgeon and his life journey from a healer to a patient.

I suggest that you wait to read the foreword until after reading the entire book.

Here are a few books on this topic:

Healing smoothies : 100 research-based, delicious recipes that provide nutrition support for cancer prevention and recovery

Cook for your life: delicious, nourishing recipes for before, during, and after cancer treatment

Cancer in the family : take control of your genetic inheritance

Just Life | The fault in our stars

I am reading "The fault in our stars."

This book is about Hazel, a 17-year-old cancer survivor. One day, in her cancer support group, she met Augustus a handsome cancer survivor and the rest is history. 

I haven't finished the book yet. 

I am hoping for a happy ending to their story, but I am doubtful. All I know is that cancer sucks. I just lost my uncle to Leukemia. Cancer is brutal and merciless.
 
Here are few things about cancer:

• Cancer happens when some of the cells in the body become abnormal and start dividing out of control.

• Cancer is the general term for more than 100 diseases. 

• According to the American Cancer Society, " half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes". 

Here are a few books on this morbid topic.
