About this title

Synopsis

Ten years ago, Gregory White Smith's doctors gave him three months to live.  He's still here.  Discover how he, and many others in this life-changing book, beat the odds and survived.

The news was grim.  Doctors at the prestigious Mayo Clinic told Greg Smith--young, handsome, and hard at work at the book that would one day win him a Pulitzer Prize--that he had an inoperable brain tumor.  They gave him three months to live.  Ten years later, Greg is fit, active, and managing his tumor with an experimental hormone therapy.

Like Greg, the other courageous people in this book--whose illnesses range from cystic fibrosis to cancer--have returned from the threshold of death.  They are all medical miracles.  Now you can learn how they made those miracles happen.  Not a survivor's memoir, but a survivor's handbook, this extraordinary book weaves the insights of doctors and the wisdom of patients into a road map anyone can follow out of the dark fears of dying.

Discover:
The one thing that makes the difference between life and death --taking control
Practical steps to finding the best doctor and the best care
Your own research...how to do it, why your life depends on it
What you need to ask before beginning an experimental treatment
Why even if there isn't a cure now, there may be tomorrow--and how to live long enough to get it...and more
