Healing Lessons

Summary: I couldn't put it down...
Review: I recommend this book to those living with cancer and those who love them. This book reveals that those of us who care about someone with cancer, even a world-reknowned physician at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, are feeling many of the same emotions and drains. Sloan-Kettering is a wonderful hospital and Sid Winawer is amongst its many, many stars.

Summary: Highly valuable & poignant
Review: This book was by far one of the most poignant I have read in some time. I could not put it down and very often the tears will flow...be forewarned, but it is worth every word. The book makes you feel--an important and very often critical contribution a writer can make. Winawer learns about the doctor patient relationship, but concurrently learns how important it is to put aside your own ego for the benefit of those dear to you--patient or spouse. His greatest lesson was the one his wife taught him -the ability to humble oneself. I highly recommend this book and suggest reading it more than once-it has many valuable lessons about life and is a must for all people, not only those who have had personal experiences with cancer. It has many contributions.
