Book Synopsis Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream by : Frank L. Douglas
Download or read book Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream written by Frank L. Douglas and published by Dorrance Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From growing up in poverty to developing drugs that fight diabetes, seizures, and cancer, Dr. Frank L. Douglas has lived a life based on values, hard work, and self-control. Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream is a reflection on the events and people that made him into the man he is. In 1963, the year of the murder of Medgar Evers, Civil Rights marches, and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, twenty-year-old Douglas arrived in the United States. A Fulbright scholar from British Guiana, Douglas studied engineering at Lehigh University, received his Ph.D. and M.D. from Cornell University, and did his Residency in Internal Medicine at Johns Hopkins. A curious and motivated young man from a colonial country struggling for independence, Douglas was shocked by the racism he received from white Americans and the cultural prejudice he received from black Americans. Struggling with his faith and identity, Douglas decided to control his own future through grit, hard work, and the road less travelled. Intimate and honest, incisive and searching, Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream is a memoir of self-determination and blazing your own path in a narrow-minded world. About the Author Dr. Frank L. Douglas grew up in British Guiana with his mother and four siblings. His love of education earned him a Fulbright Scholarship and he came to America during the turbulent years of the 1960s. He worked at Ciba Geigy and Aventis, and was involved in pharmaceutical research for drugs that treat tuberculosis, arthritis, diabetes, seizures, cancer, and pulmonary embolism, among others. Douglas has received the Global Pharmaceutical Research and Development Director of the Year Award in 2001 and 2004; the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers in 2002; the Black History Maker Award in 2007; the Geoffrey Beene Foundation and GQ Magazine Rock Star of Science in 2010; and the Caribbean Heritage Award for Entrepreneurship in 2011 Douglas wrote Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream in honor of all who helped him on his journey.

Book Synopsis Now I Know I Am Not Alone by : Frank Danza
Download or read book Now I Know I Am Not Alone written by Frank Danza and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Danza is an ordinary business executive. As he approached his fiftieth birthday, he lived what many might consider a "charmed" life: great career, happy marriage, two beautiful and talented daughters, and hopes for an early retirement. In the blink of an eye, that life was challenged with an unexpected diagnosis of a rare and deadly cancer. After a deeply spiritual and personal encounter some six years after his diagnosis and surgery, Frank began to wonder how he was able to thus far "beat the odds." Why was he still alive? He realized that he had made some unusual decisions during the course of his life that might hold the answer to his questions. How was it that he decided, against his better judgment, to pursue a career in healthcare consulting at a firm that he never intended to join? Why did he make the unlikely decision to accept a position at a not-for-profit healthcare system where he learned about the cancer that would later invade his body months before it happened? From the surgeon that would eventually save his life? How did he come to develop an unpredictable friendship with a healer who taught him how to be a better husband and father, and that the mind can heal the body and who facilitated his deeply spiritual and personal encounter with our Blessed Mother? In Now I Know I Am Not Alone, Frank Danza makes the compelling case that through divine intervention, he was inspired to make uncanny decisions throughout his life that prepared him for his cancer diagnosis, surgery, and treatment. He shares six specific stories, recounting events in his life that each culminated in what he describes as "miracle-inspired decisions." These everyday miracles led him through a life path that would save his life decades after they began and make him a better husband, father, and friend. The more we learn about his life, the more we come to understand that miracle-inspired decisions don't only happen to Frank; they are gifts offered to all of us. His stories require us all to ponder the profound gift of free will, consider the reality of a superior being, and embrace our innate ability to choose hope over despair even in the most dire of circumstances.
Book Synopsis No One Said it Would be Easy by : Ken Churilla
Download or read book No One Said it Would be Easy written by Ken Churilla and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY: A Husband's Journey Through His Wife's Battle With Breast Cancer is the gripping story of a man who lost his wife to breast cancer. Told through his eyes, the reader sees everything both medical and personal, the way he experienced it and how he reacted to the various experiences and situations at home, at work, in his mind, and in his private time. It recounts the heart-wrenching journey through his wife's fight for survival in this well-written and brutally honest chronicle that stands as a companion guide for all men caught in this war of all wars. The Do's, Don'ts, and I Don't Know's are all captured here in a vulnerable tale that offers to shine a light in such inevitable darkness. NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY takes the reader through all of one man's thoughts, reactions and emotions through it all: her initial diagnosis, treatment, the declaration of her being cancer free, her relapse, treatment, decline, death, burying her and then moving on in all facets of his life as a man and a father. It tackles everything from the medical procedures to the shift of balance in the household going from equal partners to provider and caregiver. It also tackles the details of his personal life that only a man going through this will know: things such as the intimacy (both sexual and romantic) between him and his wife, how he dealt with his feelings of anger / loneliness / faith, raising a son and two young daughters (after all, what man knows about bras, make-up, hairstyles and boys), to moving on after she passed. It also goes beyond the burial from rearranging the house, when and what he did with her things, dealing with his grief and ultimately developing new relationships; all the while executing the same tasks for as a father for his grieving children. Designed to be a helpful tool for men going through this journey or who have already experienced this life changing event not as a 'self-help' book, but in much the same way that athletes watch game tape. The disease is the common opponent shared by the reader and will attack the reader in many of the same ways and in some other ways differently. NO ONE SAID IT WOULD BE EASY allows the reader to see inside the mind and life of a man who literally walked in their shoes, how he reacted to various situations and either compare their actions or prepare them for some of what might be coming.
Download or read book Finding My Way written by Mike Dellosso and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Mike's story. And you know what? It's your story too. This is so much more than one man's battle with cancer. It's more than one man struggling to find meaning in suffering. It's more than one man's victory. This is for all of us. We all battle with something, we all struggle, we all wrestle and question, we all suffer. And we all can be victorious. Someday. So as you read the story that unfolds in the pages of this book please don't read it as a spectator. Walk this road too; make it your own journey, your own battle, your own quest to find the meaning in suffering, to find God when you feel alone, to find the Light in the midst of deep darkness. Make this your story. You may not have cancer, you may never have battled that particular monster . . . but you've battled a monster. You've struggled, you've prayed and argued with God and cried in His arms. You've suffered in some way. In March of 2008 Mike was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was thirty-five, healthy, married with three beautiful daughters. He was not a candidate for cancer. And yet, there it was. What you have here is a compilation of Mike's journaling interspersed with some other thoughts he's had since that awful, wonderful year. You'll find a chronological order of events from diagnosis to first doctor visits to surgery to chemo to more surgeries. It's all there. But more than a record of events you'll find a spiritual journey that will resonate with anyone who has been touched by a trial or suffering or sorrow or pain. There is brutal honesty in these pages. Because we've all been touched by suffering in one way or another, this book is valuable for anyone. Hopefully, you'll find some hope here, some joy, maybe some laughter, some enlightenment, some inspiration. And hopefully, through the story in these pages you'll come to see God in a different light.

Book Synopsis A World Without Cancer by : Margaret I. Cuomo
Download or read book A World Without Cancer written by Margaret I. Cuomo and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and surprising investigation into the ways that profit, personalities, and politics obstruct real progress in the war on cancer—and one doctor's passionate call to action for change This year, nearly 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and more than 1,500 people will die per day. We've been asked to accept the disappointing strategy to "manage cancer as a chronic disease." We've allowed pharmaceutical companies to position cancer drugs that extend life by just weeks and may cost $100,000 for a single course of treatment as breakthroughs. Why have we been able to cure and prevent other killer diseases but not most cancers? Where is the bold government leadership that will transform our system from treatment to prevention? Have we forgotten the mission of the National Cancer Act of 1971, to "conquer cancer"? Through an analysis of over 40 years of medical evidence and interviews with cancer doctors, researchers, drug company executives, and health policy advisors, Dr. Cuomo reveals frank and intriguing answers to these questions. She shows us how all cancer stakeholders—the pharmaceutical industry, government, physicians, and concerned Americans—can change the way we view and fight cancer in this country.

Book Synopsis The Complete Cancer Diaries by : Byron Leavitt
Download or read book The Complete Cancer Diaries written by Byron Leavitt and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is God When We Suffer? In the Fall of 2013 Byron Leavitt grew deeply, oppressively sick. Then, in January of 2014, he learned why: he had stage four Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Byron was given a 50/50 chance of beating the cancer. Taking a deep breath, he marched forward into the fight for his life. As he entered the war, he also started to write. He wrote of his miraculous victories, tragic defeats, and grueling treatments. But, perhaps most of all, he chronicled a growing realization. It is so easy in the valley of death to despair. To be devoured by the night and the terror. To ask yourself, "Where is God? Has he left me?" But what if, in the depths of utter darkness, we can somehow reach heights we could never have otherwise attained? What if, as we plummet into the clawing abyss, we find Someone who was waiting to catch us all along? That's what this book is about. These are The Complete Cancer Diaries. The Complete Cancer Diaries began in 2014 with the release of "The Cancer Diaries." However, as work on that book was drawing to a close, Byron was informed that his cancer had returned. And so, just over one year later, here is the full story. Combining the first "Cancer Diaries" with a brand-new Book Two, The Complete Cancer Diaries is a brutally honest, sharply funny story, a collection of musings about our world and the God who created it, and a guide to finding hope in the darkness when there's none to be seen. It will challenge you, it will inspire you, and it will help you push through to the light on the other side. Whether you're battling cancer or something else entirely, whether it's you waging the war or a family member or a friend, use The Complete Cancer Diaries as a tool. Use it to see the world differently. Use it to find purpose in the pain. Use it to meet God again - or even for the first time. Use it to find peace in the wastelands. NEW: Now includes the never-before-published section "10 Things to Do if You Get Cancer." This list chronicles the things that got Byron through his cancer, covering absolutely vital strategies he used to win like "turning the conversation." And, while these are the things Byron did to help him beat cancer, he has found people in a variety of situations and struggles who found this list just as valid and necessary as those dealing with cancer themselves. A note from the author: "Hi there, my friend. This is Byron Leavitt. Sorry to take up more of your time, but I just wanted to thank you for spending a few minutes to look over my book. But even more than that, I wanted to encourage you that no matter what you're going through, don't lose hope. God sees you. He's there with you. And He loves you. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know. I hope we get the chance to talk at some point in the future, and I hope that as you read my story you see your own reflected in it as well. Until next time, God bless you." - Byron

Book Synopsis The Prostate Monologues by : Jack McCallum
Download or read book The Prostate Monologues written by Jack McCallum and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues. Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, “When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?” Or, if you have surgery, “What’s it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?” With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to “regular” men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what’s worked for him—and what’s proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.

Throughout it all his love for his children and his compassionate concern for his patients, are the driving force to his eventual attainment of serenity.
