• Pesmen, Curtis

Based on his award-winning series of Esquire magazine articles on his own survival of colon cancer, the author shows how a person diagnosed with cancer stops being a patient and starts becoming a survivor. This revised second edition updates treatments and adds new voices of survivors, and surveys promising treatments on the horizon.

After having undergone a "screening" colonoscopy in 1997, Pesmen received a shocking diagnosis of Stage III colorectal cancer. Now as a 10-year survivor, Pesmen shares his insights--plus advice from other survivors as well as leading physicians--on how to manage the challenges of surviving this devastating disease.
