Meanwhile, one man and his family come together in hopes of a miracle. 'Parallel Lives reads like a detective novel. There was clearly an incentive to see how it would end. As a result once I started I finished it the next day. That does not happen with all the books I read. I was impressed by the detailed medical and scientific descriptions .'Anton Berns, Former Director, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam.'I was captivated by Parallel Lives and wanted to know how you would bring it to its end. You really master linking both science and medicine in a field to which you contributed a lot.

However, in a matter of weeks, his life and that of his family will change drastically.
