Climb back from cancer

Three years after reaching the top of Mt. Everest, Alan came face to face with 'The Everest of Illnesses' when he was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a cancer of the blood, and given less than a year to live. With the help of his fiancée, Cecilia, he not only survived, but thrived, and the couple emerged all the stronger from their shared trial. This is their inspiring true story of commitment, teamwork and triumph. The first book in the proposed Climb Back from Cancer Collection, it offers not only a living example of how to climb back from cancer, but demonstrates how to transform adversity into opportunity. It also includes The 10 Tools of Triumph - for survivors and caregivers - what Alan and Cecilia consider are the key psychological skills required not only to survive life-threatening illness, but to thrive beyond it.
