London, United Kingdom: Vermilion, 1999. Part journal, part medical enquiry, this bestselling book is the everyday story of cancer: of what cancer is, what it does, how it kills, how it can be cured. It is the book Diamond needed the night he was phoned up and told, 'Look, it's bad news....' "From its marvellous opening sentence to the sad, wry, shrewd and moving coda of resignation tinged with hope on its final page, this book is a wonder....It is obligatory reading because it is bereft of blather and jargon, it is devoid of the ghastly language of pseudo-caring that blights so many personal accounts of illness....it is written with a panache, a humour, a wisdom and a passion that together make it one of the wittiest, most readable and sanest contributions to the growing and invaluable literature on diseases written by those who have them" (Anthony Clare, The Sunday Times.)

It's the disease a third of us gets as some time or another, and the disease that will kill at least a quarter of us - even hypochondriacs like Diamond. But his was one of the good cancers: it was a near certainty that it could be cured. Until it turned out to be one of the less good cancers, the sort that might succumb to surgery and raiotherapy and the rest - but again might not. The author follows his own cancer from its diagnosis through its treatment to - well who knows where to? As he stumbles through the stages of the disease and its remedies he reflects on the bality of cancer, the inability of others to deal with his illness, they myths and taboos which surround the word. He rails against those who see cancer as some sort of battle where victory goes only to the brave and the pure of heart, and against those who believe that the… Read More
