Download Diary of a Radical Cancer Warrior: Fighting Cancer and Capitalism at the Cellular Level AudioBook Free
The conflict on cancer in a single soldier's own words. When American saxophonist and communal activist Fred Ho was diagnosed with stage 3b colo-rectal cancer tumor in 2006 he underwent immediate surgery to remove the tumor and started finding your way through chemotherapy. Within days and nights his friends mobilized to arrange grocery deliveries, move, companionship, and housekeeping tasks - they called themselves "Warriors for Fred". Fred thought we would write his astonishing cancer tumor memoir as a journal, acknowledging that the best warriors from Sunshine Tzu to swordsman Murasashi to Bruce Lee composed daily diaries because warfare against a most formidable adversary will be earned, in the long run, on the philosophical level. With amazingly detailed entries, Fred talks frankly about his fight - his meticulous research, his various treatments, his successes, and his failures. Jointly, he and his loved ones discuss plans for future artistic projects: a new opera on Antony and Cleopatra, a project with a local Alaskan totem carver, and an underwater ballet for synchronized swimmers. He discovers to find pleasure in the easy things: the beauty of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, a brand new pork bun, or a night of Battlestar Galactica on Disc. Above all, we learn what this means to truly live in today's - through Fred's unflinching information of the consequences of colon cancer - and about his search not just for "a remedy" in a medical sense, but also for true recovery. For Fred, this consists of understanding the way of the warrior - person who battles for beauty, justice, health, collateral, and sustainability.
