Chris J. Hamilton

In his new book, CHE-MOment, Chris J. Hamilton tells his story of battling four different types of cancer, including AML M2 Leukemia. This book was written to guide not only cancer patients and their families through this challenging experience, but also to serve as an uplifting, real-life perspective when life throws curve balls. The book's title refers to the author's key moments that changed his life, faith, and attitude forever.

Hamilton was working in the medical industry when he found out he had throat and thyroid

cancer. While undergoing treatments for several months in 2011, he next learned that he had

acute myeloid leukemia extending his treatments two more years; including a necessary and

risky stem cell transplant.

"I took out 90% of the pain because I wanted to keep the book motivational," says Hamilton.

Hamilton's heartwarming story gives the reader a real-life guide on how to beat the odds. "I

wanted to inspire people. Right now, the book is doing exactly what I wanted it to; reach cancer

patients and help them navigate through their own journeys."

The book engages, educates the reader, and includes a medical terminology section to define

difficult cancer terms. CHE-MOment includes a few of Hamilton's blog entries and his take on

fighting the illness through diet, exercise, and attitude. CHE-MOment is available on the

following websites; AuthorHouse, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Books, Books-A-Million,

eBay Books, The Book Depository, Kobo Books, and in select bookstores.

Chris J. Hamilton was born in Boynton Beach, Florida, and currently lives in Tazewell, VA. He graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration. He majored in International Marketing. He is a four-time cancer survivor including AML M2 Leukemia. The Author worked for medical companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Covidien.

CHE-MOment came to him as a way to pay-it-forward. His main goal is to reach as many cancer patients as he can so that he can make a difference in their lives. Being a volunteer has it rewards. Although, the reach or effect is minimal compared to writing a book that could ultimately help thousands of cancer patients. This book was also written to help people going through life-altering events as well. Chris's hope is that you get many inspiring ideas from his book, and he looks forward to your comments.

Chris' next book is a Novel called "Exposed Soul at Low-Tide."
