The Crucible of Adversity: Memoir of a Brain Cancer Survivor

Description

“It is easy to say or think you wouldn’t let yourself get down if you were in my position, that crying about it wouldn’t help, and that the only way to make it through this or have a chance of making it would be tackling this thing head on. To that I say, when have you ever had to stare death in the face with the odds stacked against you? Was the outcome highly unlikely that you’d survive . . .? There might be some of you out there, but we are few. Those who have, we stand apart from the rest of humanity . . . But we still stand. We are still here because we fought. We had the courage to not back down, and were just crazy enough to say “bring it on.” That is the reason we stand, and the very reason we aren’t lying cold and dead, in a box buried six feet deep.” This is the story of one man’s struggle to grab life by the horns when it would have been easier to just give up. Follow Aaron on his journey as he battles through brain cancer, love, loss, and derailment, to when he finally discovers what it means to truly LIVE!
