For me, this book is not about the battle against illness but rather the power of creating a TEAM to create the REALITY we want in life. There are two ways to get love in this world -- ask for it and give it. This book helped me to really be clear on my purpose, put out to the world what I really want, enlist the assistance of others in meeting that goal, and continue improving my life and others I come in contact with through my efforts. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Dare to live as someone who was "dying" teaches you! I have been on my own personal journey of transformation predicated by major conflict with a teenage son. We are both deeply involved with creating a better world for ourselves and others. What a ride!

When you sit across a big wooden desk from someone in a white labcoat who says "I'm afraid it's bad news" and advises you to get your affairs in order, your next move should be to pick up this book. Mr. Stone's uplifting method of taking on The Big "C" is an inspiration for those of us who share the journey. If you haven't started your own "buffaloe herd" yet, you will! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Bob and Jenny for this manual on survivorship. This book is worth an "out-of-print" search.

I purchased this book at the suggestion of a co-worker who knew Bob Stone personally. My husband has recently been diagnosed with cancer and I need to keep him in a positive frame of mind. I just finished the book and read it first intentionally so that I could highlight the points I wanted him to pay attention to. We haven't yet begun treatment, but I am so grateful for the fight Bob Stone and his "team" waged in the war against this awful disease. Thank you to Genie, Jenny, Tyler, Marion, and Martha for sharing your loved one and most of all to Bob himself as I know he is watching over us all.

WHEN MY BROTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LEUKEMIA, THIS BOOK WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY THE WIFE OF ONE OF THE PHYSICIANS WITH WHOM I WORKED. SHE WAS ALSO FIGHTING CANCER. EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY READ THE BOOK AND IT HELPED ALL OF US ON THAT JOURNEY. IT'S THE 1ST BOOK ANYONE SHOULD PICK UP WHEN THEY OR A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER IS DIAGNOSED WITH A SERIOUS ILLNESS OR IS FACING A CHALLENGE IN LIFE. MY BROTHER INSTINCTIVELY KNEW HE COULD NOT FIGHT ALONE AND THIS BOOK GAVE US THE TOOLS TO PUT TOGETHER A "TEAM". IT IS MORE THAN WORTH THE OUT OF PRINT SEARCH. IT'S A BOOK EVERY PHYSICIAN SHOULD READ.
