Just finished reading The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. The book is breathtaking. It is a must read for anyone involved in science, research, medicine, cancer patients and cancer survivors... or anyone who is interested in history/biography of cancer. The book is incredibly well written. It presents a very difficult topic in a compelling manner, providing the most up to date research data and treatment methods in combating this deadly disease.
I'll end my review of the book with one of the first quotes of the book...
"Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.
Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place." - Susan Sontag
I highly recommend this book to all fellow CAGs.
