Synopsis
Cancer Warrior is the diary of Levine's six-year “war” with metastatic colon cancer. It is a story of battles in diagnosis, tests, treatments and surgery. Warrior does not expound on medical detail, but rather on Levine's experience. She discusses chemotherapy and its side effects, but not the medicines themselves. The same is true of radiation and surgeries, where the focus is on the personal process and the effects. Levine takes the reader inside the life of a cancer patient, with its unpredictability and complexity. For other patients there will be an easy empathy with her travails. For those who have not been ill, such as caregivers or family members, there is an opportunity to understand how patients perceive and react to medical care
