Almost Always Fatal (Surviving Cancer With a Sense of Humor)

Can a cancer survivor's story be entertaining even funny? One might expect informative interesting or inspiring and this book is all three but Charles Walton's writing style and honest down-to-earth sense of humor make his account of his battle with a deadly form of cancer a truly fun read. In 2004 Walton was diagnosed with cancer while self-employed with no health insurance. He and wife Kathy lost their business their home and even their dog over the ensuing two-year period which he covers in these pages. He says It sounds like a country song doesn't it? Did I mention that I lost my pick-up truck too? The point is though: None of that stuff (except of course our dog) matters. Kathy and I live in a one-bedroom apartment and drive a 17-yr.-old car now but we live better than ever before taking nothing for granted.
