520 # # |a From the diagnosis of his childhood friend's mother to his poignant memories in the lab, Scadden chronicles his personal memories of cancer. He paints a still rapidly changing landscape in the context of all too common stories of loss. At the same time he opens a window into the science of medicine, humanizing cancer while inspiring action that we all so desperately need. -- adapted from jacket
