Saving Face: Surviving the Fight With Oral Cancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546543992)

This is the tale of one man's fateful encounter with oral cancer, and the beleaguered, life-changing journey it led him on, over the course of several years. "Saving Face" begins with a scary mid-life brush with cancer which seems to be successfully treated, but comes back later with a vengeance. Nothing seems to go the right way, from begging overconfident doctors for a solid diagnosis, to surgeries that were not as advertised, through problematic treatments, and finally facial reconstruction when nobody wanted to help. This story is neither a medical manual nor an academic treatise. It is written from an "everyman" perspective, as an average person experiencing everything first-hand, and learning as he goes along. The reader will likely find much of himself in these pages, and hopefully take away some inspiration for his own life.
