Cancer, Be Not Proud

Cancer, Be Not Proud is a narrative of a man's fight for his life after receiving the shattering diagnosis of glioblastoma, an often-fatal brain cancer. With literary flair and humor, Jim Wilson takes his readers on a roller-coaster ride of myriad treatments and emotions, buoyed by his unwavering willpower and stubborn sense of wonder. Jim adheres to a number of "good habits" which he believes has increased the likelihood of survival. He describes those benignly reinforcing practices in detail, hoping the habits and the narrative will benefit others who are in similar dire straits, needing sympathy and encouragement. Sometimes, misery needs the company of someone who has wrestled with a similar challenge. Jim's compassion for himself and others shines brightly through his eloquent, sometimes painful prose.
