Product Description I know the importance of the individual experience of metastacised melanoma cancer, because it is a very special journey. People are prone to forget, such as when one forgets they have a finger, until they hit it; people also forget they have a life until it is very seriously threatened. The worst sentence in this world that a doctor can pronounce is, "I am sorry, but the medical profession can do nothing further for you" This work explores how my wife, Jeannie, who was my home caregiver, and I travelled the cancer journey together. The journey was not the same for Jeannie as it was for me-it was my melanoma cancer, but I was Jeannie's husband, and therefore the stress was that much more for her, as she never knew what further stresses she had to face. This book examines the strengths of our relationship, despite the difficulties of living on an island. It is interesting how we were aware of these difficulties, and yet we worked through them. Then came the details of how the cancer was treated, both by conventional and alternative treatment. My alternative treatment had a journey all of its own, incorporating several people, all of whom were heroes in their own right. This alternative treatment was later to be regarded as a miracle by several oncologists in a Brisbane hospital. It is a thoughtful, painful, and revealing account of the years spent fighting this cancer. This book is educative, giving a report on melanoma. Mainly, the message it brings is one of hope for those who now have seemingly no hope against melanoma. I had three CT scans and a bone scan in May 2012, proving I am still free of melanoma. From the Author I have been named "a miracle" by oncologists at a Brisbane hospital. Surviving Melanoma Cancer of both lungs, the liver and bowel by an alternative treatment is unusual, as melanoma is the most dangerous cancer. I have now been free of cancer for five years. Being a carer for a cancer patient is no joke either. Read my Cancer Journey and understand what it means to be a cancer survivor. Cancer victims don't know how brave they really are! There IS hope for people diagnosed with stage IV cancer... been there, done that! An earlier book of mine, "Sons of the Brave" reveals being attaked, mauled and dragged away by a man-eating tiger in deep jungle ay nine o'clock at night.. That was my second survival. The first was when I was swept out to sea. Now, my melanoma cancer is my third survival. The challenge is to live life to the full or not live life at all, but, to be consumed by not knowing anything, because, to live without experience is no life at all. To hope: is to challenge pain and fear. To try: is to tempt failure. To love: is to risk not being loved in return. However, the greatest failure in life is to risk nothing!
