her husband, Marty, a six-year prostate cancer survivor, teaches mathematics
there as well.
“Although the author’s personal story as the spouse of a cancer
patient begins with diagnosis,” one reviewer has written, “treatment
actually comprises about half of the 23 chapters, and recovery comprises the
final fourth.
Those who have already entered the treatment phase may wish to skip ahead to
the middle chapters. But no one should omit the concluding chapters, because
they provide the ongoing hope and faith to persevere"
