Cancer indeed is a vital disease and I appreciate the reopview author for the eye opening for most of us that have no idea on how terrible this disease called cancer is.

In this book, we can see the dramatic story of a women, suffering from tongue cancer! She's very sad for this, but it seems she ''accepts'' this fate, and as everybody, she feels weak, before ''power'' of this cancer. However, as author writes, she gets much support and health from her children, who try to encourage her, while their father also is suffering from Alzheimer, another kind of disease that leads to death, at an older age.
The writer is trying to point out, that cancer is not invincible! If patient receives Love from also beloved persons, as well as care and support, cancer can either delay or even cured! The author show this in his writing. And also shows, throughout book, that sometimes, we face tremendous difficulties in our life, but we have to struggle for them, at least try, showing also this way, that one should maintain his/her courage in such cases, here the children- and mainly not lose hope, in these circumstances. Everybody, here the patient, and children will strive to the end, this is reality of existentialism. Let's remember the well known Latin phrase ''Dum spiro spero''=I hope as long as I am alive''. This does not mean that we should escape from reality, but there's always hope in life for the better..
