Synopsis
"It’s Thursday, 25 August 2005 and because I’m totally self-absorbed, self-interested, and probably selfish, I’ve decided to keep a diary. Why? Because two months ago, on Friday, 24 June 2005, Mr. Mike Swinn, consultant urologist at East Surrey hospital, sat me down and told me, 'It’s unequivocal, you have locally advanced prostate cancer.'” In diary form, Andy Ripley candidly documents his reaction to the initial diagnosis of his illness and the effect this had on him and his family. He guides us through his subsequent treatment, along the way enlightening us with his philosophical, often jovial take on the personal events unfolding around him. As is to be expected, Ripley experiences a whirlwind of emotions along the way, but he takes the challenge head on, retaining his trademark humor and charm in the face of adversity. Rather than submitting to his condition, Ripley has chosen not only to fight his cancer relentlessly, but also to throw himself into campaigning for The Prostate Cancer Charity in an attempt to highlight an illness that is spoken about far too infrequently. Ripley’s World is a compelling, moving, and surprisingly entertaining read that is sure to provoke discussion on prostate cancer. Where most men diagnosed with this illness have suffered in relative silence, Ripley has chosen to use his experience of fighting it to inform, inspire, and educate others.

Ripley's World
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
