Sounds like he did things the hard way . . .

 

Book: Tumor, by Ira D. Wasserstein

 

David Wesner is a shy, reserved Wall Street computer technician who

wakes up one morning with severe back pain. A malignancy is found on his

right kidney and diagnosed as cancer. This diagnosis launches Dave into

a physical and emotional roller-coaster ride through the world of

medical oncology.

 

He endures surgery, takes experimental drugs, attends support groups,

wrestles with religion, explores alternative treatment -- all while

becoming a father for the first time. He worries about money, his job,

his family, health insurance, and death.

 

David's last hope for survival lies on an experimental therapy developed

by a dedicated government researcher. Will Dave be one of the fortunate

few to survive cancer? Or will he have to prepare his family, his

friends and himself for the worse?

 

Tumor is a compelling story of one man as his life hangs in the balance

between survival and death. It also has interwoven mystery and intrigue

as Dave seeks to find out why the cancer wasn & rsquo;t diagnosed sooner.

This poignant story also depicts the difficult struggle of one who

fights to overcome a terrible disease, yet accepts the possibility of

losing to it.
