Dedication
To all those who have the courage to get through this, but don't know it yet.
Chapter One
In this chapter:
Hi, my name is Rob
You're going to get through this
The two big questions
We're in this together
Dear Friend,
I'm sorry you have to read this book. I know that it might seem a bit crazy for an author to say that in the first chapter,
let alone in the first line of a book, but I am sorry. In all likelihood, you have just received a diagnosis of cancer
that came as a real shock or perhaps you're a bit further down the road. Either way, my heart goes out to you in hopes
that you will be healthy and happy again. I don't know about your specific circumstances but I do feel for you tremendously
in this situation.
It wasn't so long ago that I went on this journey they call "having cancer" as well.
It took me completely by surprise and was not a pleasant experience but I am better now.
I have a full life again, and although I don't have the same life I had before and I'm missing a gland that
I didn't even know existed, I am OK. In fact, I'm better than OK, I'm happy and well, I certainly wish these
things for you.
