Written Word Wednesday *CANCER ON THE BRAIN

Written Word Wednesday *CANCER ON THE BRAIN*

Technical difficulties yesterday. My apologies.?


Jay Lefevers brings you into his life in this memoir CANCER ON THE BRAIN. This is an account of the author's life from the time he was diagnosed with brain cancer in September 2005 to the time he kicked cancer's butt in 2009.
? ?Lefevers tells you how he built his business and found the love of his life -- his second wife, while he continued to coach a little league baseball team. When his leg started going numb and spasming, Lefevers tried to find an answer, but his doctor would not give him one, treating Lefevers as an irritant. Well, he said "Bye bye" to that doctor, found another one and had his life turned upside down with the diagnosis of a brain tumor. Three surgeries later, he defeated that cancer, but it came back in his lymph nodes until he beat it back one more time.
? ? Now, I have no idea who Lefevers is. I am not familiar with his business or any aspect of his life, but after reading this, I have to give this man props. He fought against and beat the odds and then proceeded to write an engaging book. Trust me. I am very critical of memoirs. Most of the time, I cannot finish them and they put me to sleep. I picture beating my head repeatedly into a hornet's nest most of the time when I read memoirs. Surprisingly, this was not the case with this book.
? ? It was engaging. It was touching. It was funny. Lefevers wrote it with depth and emotion. You can feel it in every sentence. Now, cancer has touched my life, as it has many other people's. I have lost more than two family members to it. It sucks! I do not know of one single person who has not been affected by cancer in one way or another. If you want a book that is real about the horrors and the unknowns of cancer, yet is uplifting and humorous, this is the book for you, whether you yourself are fighting it or watching a loved one in the battle.?
? ?All in all, 4 out of 5 stars. Bravo, Lefevers! Keep fighting the good fight!
