I have terminal cancer. Even with today's advanced medical technology, my cancer is not curable. It will not go into remission. Its spread cannot be contained indefinitely. It is, in medical terms, a chronic condition. I will have to live with it for as long as possible until its progression leads to my death. There is no way to sugar-coat these facts. I have accepted my fate and have found a way to live my remaining days to the fullest and with real joy. Hopefully I can provide a template for hope and encouragement, and a path that leads to a joyful and fulfilling life every day until the end. I am not suggesting it will be easy, but that it is possible. You will soon discover that your attitude is the only element remaining in your control. That awareness has made all the difference for me!
In the words of my youngest daughter:
"For the majority of his adult life, my dad always said, If I ever get cancer, I'm just going to blow my brains out. Based on his experience watching both his father and brother die of cancer before Dad turned 22, I don't think that my mom, myself, or either of my sisters ever doubted him, but we all prayed life would never call his bluff. He has always been resilient, but it wasn't until life pushed him down in ways he couldn't control that he really learned how to be a fighter. This book will show you how Eric Nahm went from being a man so scared of cancer that he'd rather not even show up to the battle, to a man who leads his charge against this disease. Whether he wins the war or succumbs to his enemy is not ours to decide.but whatever the outcome, he's fighting with vigor."
