November 3, 2009

Author Helps Cancer Patients Develop Positive Paths to Life Extension and Recovery

JERICHO, N.Y., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In his debut memoir, "No Expiration Dates: A Cancer Patient's Strategies for Survival" (published by iUniverse), Leon Weisman recounts his unique and inspirational battle with lung cancer while also offering practical advice about the emotional and social changes that a cancer diagnosis can bring to a patient as well as a family embarking on the fight to stay alive.

Undoubtedly, Weisman's success with battling cancer gives him the experience to address the questions and concerns that constantly threaten to disrupt normal life. Utilizing literary quotes from his teaching career, humorous observations about his time as a patient, and his insight into mental pressures of such a life-threatening disease, Weisman offers readers his own blueprint for living well while surviving cancer, covering topics like doctor-patient relationships, the importance of a support system as well as family, and the world of chemotherapy.

But "No Expiration Dates" isn't just your ordinary cancer book, either. Weisman's confident and literary voice adds that inviting, charming tone that other authors trade for medical jargon. Of course, Weisman offers the medical details and firsthand hospital experience that cancer patients need when approaching doctors about their treatments, but he also understands that the heart must be healed as well. Laughter is truly the best medicine, and his unparalleled mastery of storytelling only helps comfort those who have suffered at the hand of this terrible disease.

Filled with as many medical recommendations as funny anecdotes about his personal experience, all of which give patients new hope for survival, his memoir embodies the true spirit of a person with a new lease of life. Whether readers are battling cancer or have a loved one suffering from its taxing symptoms, "No Expiration Dates" demonstrates wholeheartedly that a bright future awaits everyone who thinks positively and never gives up.
