Cancer Fight

Informationen zum Autor MICHAEL COCCARI has spent more than three decades teaching English, first in Osaka, Japan, and then in a public high school in California's Central Valley. His proudest professional achievement is helping adolescents, the majority of whom were studying English as a second language, find their voices and develop their competency as writers, deepen their humanity and values through the study of literature, and discover life directions. Cancer Fight, his memoir detailing his wife's courageous seven-year battle against stage 4 breast cancer and his experience as caregiver, was a subject on the Daily Spark show hosted by Dr. Angela Chester; a segment on an affiliate of CBS Newsin Bakersfield, CA; and an article in Tehachapi News. It's Good to Say Thank You is his second memoir. This is a book about my wife's nearly seven-year battle against stage 4 breast cancer. From my perspective as husband and caregiver, the book attempts to describe how my wife responded to her cancer diagnosis and then fought against the disease with grace, courage, faith, and optimism. Included are explanations of my wife's medical treatment and the effects of that treatment on her body, mind, and spirit. My wife's fearless fight against a deadly disease is an affirmation of love of family and friends, as well as a reminder that in life and death struggles, nothing surpasses in importance one's faith in God, a positive attitude, a sense of humor, rejection of self-pity, and an indomitable strength of will.
