Official Review: Running the Marathon with Cancer

[Shirazi Cat]

Thank you, Izesicle, for another fine review. It's always good to read about people facing up to such horrendously daunting challenges.

[Kalin Adi]

The book seems very touching and informative. It would clearly open one's eyes to reality that we must not take health for granted. Thanks for this inspirational review!

[Izesicle]

The author is not only a Marathon but a fighter too. Very few survive from such dreadful disease. Even my brother-in-law is suffering from cancer and has very few chances to live. I can recommende him this book because the remedy worth a lot to us.

so sorry to hear about your brother in law. The book does not offer a sure remedy. There are some recommendations that help with mindset and coping.

Wonderful review! Nov. 17th marks one year since taking my mother in law in for her lumpectomy surgery! After that surgery she officially became breast cancer free and has remained so. She is 78 years old! I love stories of inspiration!

oh wow, her strength is so inspiring.

This books sounds incredibly motivational. I have only run one marathon. Although I completed it successfully,the training is a mental and physical battle on its own. Adding in another physical battle of a disease or cancer is just mind blowing to me.

This is what I too was thinking as I read the review. One of the ever present dangers with this kind of book is repetitious monotony , and so it is not surprising that this one does not escape it. However, it still sounds like a good read.

Cancer has struck my family recently. I will read this book to learn, yes, some of the medical aspects, but more importantly, the emotional aspects of fighting and conquering.

I know the feeling, missreadalot. Cancer has become so common; families without it are really blessed. (One of my brothers has it.) While medical intervention has made the disease curable if diagnosed early, it has not shed its image as "a death sentence." Let us support our loved ones who are afflicted and those of us who suffer with them.

Doug's goal to get people to get tested for cancer is an important one, I also like that he maintained a positive outlook, that is important!

I enjoyed your review.

Here alternated simple explanations on medical procedures with little observations like hospital people should not be smoking and in this way smoking can be prohibited

[kislany]

What a fascinating (and very sad) story. Cancer is so common among us, I'm sure there is no family that has not come across someone who is afflicted by this terrible disease. For many it's quite uncomfortable to talk, not to mention read books about cancer. You have a nice review there.

[GPM]

Thanks for the great review. I find the book very helpful to everyone, especially to people experiencing cancer and to people they encounter to inspire them to think positive.

[Aimy]

It seems like a very good book with a very inspirational story. Life is not about living forever; it is about living with courage and undeterred determination. And writer has quite rightly proved it.

realy Cancer is such a horrible reality in today's world

[Paul78]

Everytime the word Cancer is mentioned, it causes dread especially in the developing world. These days cancer is known as a leading killer disease and most patients see nothing else but death. The review gives a happy ending to a situation which in normal circumstances would be desperate. This leaves a great desire for one to read the book to get the full details of the writers account.
It is sad that the review score is a 3. Nevertheless the book can be reedited and a second version published in consideration of suggested points of correction.

[Vismin]

We all know that cancer can kill.A lot of our brothers and sisters are suffering in this kind of horrible desease.We must be careful to our body,especially the food we eat,to our hobbies like smoking and over drinking of alcohol.We must stop it and live happy.
