Cancer is a complex illness with biological, psychosocial, and spiritual facets. This book follows the odyssey of a physician who was diagnosed with a virulent blood cancer, multiple myeloma, and came to a new understanding of health and wellness as he underwent bone marrow transplant with massive chemotherapy, navigated the hazards of the health delivery system, learned to cope with the illness and then the treatment, and finally emerged into a whole new life with a new appreciation of the relationship of illness, health, trauma and resilience.
