5.0 out of 5 stars The Cancer Wars, July 31, 2004

By 

Heather's Dad (Monroe) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cancer War (Hardcover)

Fascinating book by a unique and interesting person who has loved his life and has managed to do what he loves through force of will and an engaging personality. Anthoney Herrera is an actor, playwright, television producer, and poet, currently appearing on "As the World Turns". This book is an account of his fight with mantel cell lymphoma. It is also an account of his life with and without cancer. Well written with not a single excess word. Straight and to the point. This man took responsiblity for his medical care. He found the best doctors and the best hospital. Personal and very readable. Should be read for an account of the trials of a strong, funny, and intelligent human being who decided to continue living and living large.

The Cancer War is a must read for anyone going through cancer treatment (whether as the patient, family member or friend). Anthony details his struggle with lymphoma, including his pioneering second stem cell transplant, with style, humor and grace. This book gets beneath the soap opera star veneer and into the heart and soul of a brave warrior. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and most of all, you'll be touched and changed by his words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony is a true survivor, January 11, 2007

This review is from: The Cancer War (Hardcover)

Having met Anthony when I performed one of his imaging tests, I was interested to see if his good humor and strength of will translated into his book. I should not have worried. From the first chapter, it is apparent and I found myself pulling for him all over again. We are transported into his world of pain, loyalty of friendship, and frustration with a medical system that sometimes forgets that the patient is part of the process. I continually recommend Anthony's book to my patients, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to read the story of a true survivor.
