Diagnosed at 28 with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma, a collapsed lung and displaced heart, Steve researched advanced treatment options that led to a full recovery. This same tenacious mindset was leveraged to create a blueprint and must-have resource for patients and caretakers to defeat cancer.An aerospace engineer by trade, Steve was shaping his career and life, feeling invincible and focusing on typical twenty-something activities like work, sports, his girlfriend and cats, when his life was suddenly turned on its head: cancer. Steve quickly applied his engineer's mindset to his battle with cancer and learned everything he could about treatment options and the science of cancer. A cancer diagnosis can feel devastating, yet arming yourself with information-from scans and chemotherapy to blood work and nutrition-can erase the fear of the unknown. This knowledge will not only aid in your physical recovery as you take an active role in your treatment, but will also enhance your mental fortitude and outlook. Steve's journey is deftly woven with information for the newly diagnosed and their caretakers. The technical aspects of cancer and cancer treatments are approachable and easy to understand, accompanied by beautiful custom illustrations.
