Free Downloads Victor Not Victim: My Battle With Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Throughout his career in physical therapy Mark had been accustomed to helping others who depended on his expertise for their rehabilitative care. Imagine his surprise when he sought medical attention for a "nagging cough" and soon learned he had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Now, his diagnosis forced him to rely on other experts. Victor Not Victim is Mark's personal journey of his diagnosis, treatment, and eventual resolution. It's the inspirational story of a cancer survivor told from the point of view of a medical practitioner faced, as a lay person, with the challenge of surviving a devastating illness. In this book Mark attempts to provide a unique insight to his battle with cancer. His casual style is intended to capture the same conversational tone shared with other patients he met along the way. Through his use of humor and wit, Mark is hopeful that the reader is inspired to wage their own personal war on the "doom and gloom" often associated with cancer as he describes the positive physical, mental, spiritual and emotional attitude he maintained throughout his battle to become the Victor Not Victim.

I sent this to my best friend that is battling Hodgkins Lymphoma right now. It didn't get sent to me, so I cannot be a true judge of it. I wanted to send her something that could inform, help, and encourage her through this difficult time. This book got good reviews, so I thought I'd send it to her in the hopes that she could glean something from it. She made the comment that the author (who is a physical therapist,) had one -2 cm tumor. My poor best friend has 15 tumors, one of which is 7 cm in the same space that his one -2 cm tumor is. She said that she should write her own book. I'm sure she can someday when this awful treatment is over. But in the meantime, I hope this book can be even a little bit of hope, comfort, and strength to her when she needs it most. God bless all those that are struggling with cancer. Thank you for reading my review.
