It was spreading and becoming worse.
Even after my primary care physician diagnosed
allergies and prescribed treatment, the itch, and
other symptoms, refused to go away.
In desperation, I finally went on the Internet and
made the frightening discovery that every one of my

lymphoma.
In a personal saga in which fortitude
overcomes fear, I endured chemotherapy, radiation,
long-awaited remission, and relapse, before
undergoing my last hope of survival—a transplant
of my very own stem cells.
In a time when stem cells are a topic
of both hope and controversy, I tell a story
of determination and decision in which my
option to go along with anything the medical

pledge I made to myself and to my loved ones. |

I want to give
you the reader a bit of assurance that this book
"Stems of Life" speaks the truth and gives
you the reader the opportunity to walk in my
shoes. All professionally edited and doctor
reviewed. Two of my oncologists have read and
reviewed this book, giving it their stamp of
approval
The content of
the book is the process I went through, how I
discovered I had cancer and the promise I made to my
family and to myself. To do what it took to live! I
take you the reader through all of it, well almost
all of it. I always try to maintain a sense of humor
and hopefully you will see that in my writing.
A good chuckle seemed to give me a shot of
endorphins and the strength to keep going. A
valuable tool for anyone going through an illness or
a desperate situation. After you order
and read my book, I sincerely hope my book helps you and your loved ones.
