After being diagnosed with a lethal cancer, the author embarks on an investigative journey where he overcomes many barriers erected by his HMO, and undergoes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. This is one of the first works to deal head-on with surviving cancer in the miserly world of managed care-HMOs. Within HMO medicine there is this frightful certainty: You -the patient- must become your own medical advocate if you're to survive, or even get competent care. Rejecting HMO roadblocks and the HMO oncologist's statistical opinion that a rare and lethal cancer would kill him within a matter of months, the author today, an 11-year survivor, initiates an explorative journey where he overcomes the innumerable profit-driven barriers fabricated by his HMO, and tracks down a life-preserving chemotherapy on the Internet.

With medical knowledge and insight into the path to come, Dr. Givler is able to offer answers and hope as she discusses: looking at cancer through the lens of hope seeking, evaluating, and making decisions for treatment drawing closer to God along the journey facing family and friends Dr. Givler shares more than professional wisdom; she extends her friendship. And as a fellow survivor she provides a comforting presence during an experience that too often is mired in uncertainty, fear, and loneliness.

This book is written for and dedicated to the people with cancer who want to do everything in their power to help themselves and their doctor so they will have the best chance of beating their disease.
