In 2017, David got what he thought was a mild touch of the âflu. This book is the story of why David would make a lousy doctor.
Contrary to the bookâs title, David had lymphoma and it was terminal. But A Mild Touch of the Cancer isnât your standard âhow I survivedâ compendium. It is a hilarious tale, written while battling one of lifeâs greatest challenges. Itâs a book about living with optimism and positivity, by a self-proclaimed Genetically Modified Organism.
Davidâs book documents a year of gruelling treatment, which at one point nearly made him sell his house in order to raise the necessary $1M for trial CAR-T cell treatment in Boston, US. It was this treatment that saved his life.
Itâs not just a book for those living with cancer â itâs for anyone that enjoys an uplifting story of survival against the odds â and a good laugh.
