Cancer Sucks - a True Story David Yates

David Yates returned from military duty in Vietnam, only to find out that he had cancer. He was getting back on his feet when cancer returned two years later. Treatment followed, and David got back into his life changed, but moving forward. Three decades later, David found himself receiving the news of a cancer diagnosis for the third time.

Cancer Sucks - A True Story is David's story.

From the moment of that third diagnosis, David determined that he hadn't let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn't beat him this time, either.

His is a story of survival, of making it through to the other side of illness, and of helping others to do the same.

Filled with personal stories and accounts of what to expect when going through treatment, David's story is a new kind of handbook for cancer patients. With frank advice, David explains how he has made it through, urging us all to take our health into our own hands.

Perhaps this is not just David's story after all, but a cautionary tale for all of us.
