Not the Last Goodbye: Reflections on life, death, healing and cancer

Not the Last Goodbye: Reflections on life, death, healing and cancer

by David Servan - Schreiber (Author)

Synopsis

This is the story of an award-winning psychiatrist and neuroscientist who was diagnosed with a brain tumour by his own MRI machine at the age of thirty. It is the story of a doctor turned patient who, after overcoming cancer against the odds, started a twenty-year crusade to inform people about the disease and inspire them to take responsibility for their health. It is the story of a husband and father who is told that the cancer has returned, and that he only has a short time left. This is a story about dying. But most of all, it is a story about living.
