This personal and compelling account offers both explanation and hope about disease that remains largely in the shadow of modern society. The story is about how one man and his family coped not once, but twice with the trauma and devastation of this disease to slowly reclaim their lives. The reader follows this army officer's journey through diagnosis, surgery, treatment and recovery over a period of years. Climbing Back informs and aids the understanding of testicular cancer in a very personal and genuine way.

climbing back-a honest look at the human side of cancer,
By K. Carr (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Climbing Back: A Journey With Cancer (Paperback)
After reading this remarkable journey of Mark Gerner, I felt that I can better understand the life choices and experiences of a cancer patient. His courage not only to have fought with cancer, but to write such an honest book gives him 5 stars! This book is a must for anyone who face trials-whether it be cancer or not.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Best cancer book,
This review is from: Climbing Back: A Journey With Cancer (Paperback)
Wow, being on a cancer journey myself this is by far the best book I have read. It is so good I finished it in one afternoon. Lots of tears. Mark just really nails it. All the feelings and smells are so real. I would recommend this book for anyone going through cancer or with family and friends. It gives real insight. Or if you just want a great read and want to find out more about the cancer world. Its a must. Thanks Mark Gerner, Cathy Schwallie
5.0 out of 5 stars
A personal, philosophical and technical approach to cancer.,
By python@worldnet.att.net (Odenton, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Climbing Back: A Journey With Cancer (Paperback)
This book captures a repeated bout with cancer from various approaches and angles. Mark Gerner (COL) creatively exposes the reader to his personal insight and his first hand dealings with cancer, while also interjecting medical terms simplistically expressed within the text, to educate the reader about cancer and to help shed light on the darkness of the unknown. His sharing of very personal experiences reveals the tenderness and strength of a man, his family, and the truth of cancer. This is a must read to educate not only those who have cancer or know someone with cancer, but it is for those who need to read about facing an unimaginable feat, and be able to climb back and triumph.
