Opis

This is a biography of Dr Felicia Wu. Felicia was a unique person: a very successful cancer researcher, an extremely brave cancer patient, and an incredibly determined cancer fighter. Originally, this book was to be written by Felicia. She wanted to tell other patients about her long 13 years of experience fighting cancer, and to prepare them to face their own treatment without fear. What she did not realize then was that her time was ticking away, and writing her own book proved to be an impossible task.

After Felicia passed away, her husband, Dr Cheng-Wen Wu, finished this task. Originally published in Chinese, the book was used as a reading model for students in schools and was nominated by a publisher for an award in Taiwan. The American Cancer Society has also sponsored a documentary film of Felicia's story, entitled "A Passion for Life." This English translation serves as an inspiration and a source of strength to people who encounter difficulty, frustration and hurt in life.
