"Reimagine cancer survival. That's what cancer survivor Dr. Mark Roby wants you to do. On December 30, 2002, Roby was diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers in the world and told it was unresponsive to all known chemotherapy. His oncologist suggested he "accept the inevitable," but Roby thought otherwise. Quickly realizing that conventional thinking would do little to help him, he created his own, personalized treatment plan targeting his specific tumor. And he survived! This is Roby's story, but more importantly it's his compilation of the many resources he painstakingly discovered and wants to share with others who are fighting similar battles. With a medical insider's knowledge of what it takes to stay alive when all the odds are against you, Lifelines to Cancer Survival is the first book that helps guide cancer patients towards advanced modalities and testing, such as genetic profiling, personalized vaccines, and more. Roby wants to lead the charge of patients directing and supervising their own illness." -from back cover.
