The Fourth Sun Sign (eBook, ePUB)

From A Doctor's Diary

Produktbeschreibung

Cancer, unlike many disease, is not age related; whether it is a small kid aged five, or a young girl going to college, a pregnant mother, or an old farmer, it spares no one.
The emotional state of mind when confronted with the disease is varied; while some take it with calm others react violently. Some survive while some fade beyond space and time. But whatever is the end, they are heroes.
This book is about the spiritual and psycho-social interactions between a renowned cancer specialist and some of his patients - a tribute to his three decade practice in Oncology.
