Cancer Corner - This Time's a charm "Cancer Blog - Book Tour" Stop

Hello All... Welcome to the "This Time's a Charm - Cancer Blog Tour"...

I am happy to participate in the book tour. We had a bit of a technical glitch with our post yesterday. I have copied the post from yesterday… and ensured that the post is properly submitted today.

I first was drawn to Don Wilhelm through Amazon.com . I was searching for cancer related books and survivorship stories. When you see a book written by a four time cancer survivor you are immediately pulled to the book. I remember thinking to myself... I had trouble getting through this one time... let alone four times! Thus... I reached out to Don enquiring about doing an interview with him on the "Cancer Corner" program. Don was gracious enough to send me an electronic copy of his book as it was yet to be released to the public.

When I began reading "This Times a Charm" I expected to find a different type of book. Glorious accounts of beating cancer and the like... I was surprised at what I found the book to be and that is a humbling story of the human element and very real and sometimes graphic depiction of a person going through unbearable emotional conflict. Every time I talk about the book I reiterate that this is not a "children’s" book! It is a pain filled story that continues to hit you over the head again... and again.

The story really ends up being less about cancer and more about life. This is the reason I recommend this book to individuals outside of the cancer arena as well. I don’t want to reveal too much about the book but there are several unexpected twists and turns that keep interest and depth to the story.

If you are interested in hearing more of Don’s story… please listen to:
