Book: Me And My Shadow: Memoirs Of A Cancer Survivor

Author: John Walker Pattison

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

“Me and My Shadow: Memoirs of a Cancer Survivor” is an intriguing story about the author John Walker Pattison. This is the story of John surviving the most feared diagnosis, a cancer diagnosis. During chemotherapy, John struggled both physically and mentally. In spite of being in treatment for a year, the cancer wasn’t halting. John even contemplated suicide for a moment.

The cancer diagnosis allowed John to discover himself and realise how important life truly is. For 32 years, John worked as a nurse at the same hospital where he was diagnosed with cancer. I appreciate the young nurse Syd who intervened in John’s life and saved it.

The love and support from family and extended family means a lot to the survivor. So, we should be compassionate and loving towards others. Grab a copy of this book and read the highs and the lows of John’s cancer journey. I appreciate John’s tolerance throughout his cancer journey. This book will take readers on the rollercoaster ride of emotions. John is on a lifelong project as a longest living cancer survivor and my good wishes are with him. This book is an inspiration for cancer patients. It gives an important message of NOT GIVING UP no matter how many lows you may face in life. A beautifully narrated memoir. Must read it.
