IT WAS 27 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS GIVEN ONLY FOUR MONTHS TO LIVE. I CELEBRATED MY 95TH BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER, 2023.
When we develop cancer we need to get up and win the race. We have our ups and downs. When we stumble and fall, we must not give up.
I was 68 years old and admitted to the hospital in December, 1969. Dr. Jan Freeman found colon cancer, a mass which was baseball in size at the splenic flexure with metastasis to the liver. It wasn’t long before I was given four months to live.
I wasn’t ready to give up so I developed my own program, in addition to the medical treatment.
John Conlee, the clinical worker at the Huntsman Cancer Institute wrote, “When I first met Bob, he had been diagnosed with colon and liver cancer and was given a short time to live. This prognosis only seemed to fuel Bob’s spirit and inspire unshakable determination, to beat the odds. I was just starting to use imagery with cancer patients when Bob devised a novel approach to visualization. Our collaboration comprised only one aspect of Bob’s compelling journey. His book provides a down-to-earth account of how one man did beat the odds.”
From Dr. Benjamin Kim, surgeon at Utah Cancer Institute, “Thank you for your manuscript, My Home is in the House of Cancer. I took it home last night and went over it and believe it can be most helpful to cancer patients. I particularly liked your first page, The Magic Word. I am placing your book in our library, so cancer patients may have reference to it.”
Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, author of “Love, Medicine & Miracles” and “Peace, Love & Healing” wrote “Just finished reading your working copy – it’s both provocative and inspiring. You are not alone – maybe talking to some others will broaden and confirm your hunches.”
Richard A. Bloch, Bloch Cancer Institute, Kansas City, MO, wrote “Dear Bob, thanks for sharing your story and ideas. As Bernie says, it is the “natives” that can help each other because they speak the same language and understand. I know that your insight will help others.
From Dr. Saundra S. Buys, “It’s very powerful and will be an asset for many people. Thanks for letting me be a part of this miracle.”
The book is available on Amazon for $19.99 and the Kindle is $9.99.
