Author's two husbands died of cancer. She stressed throughout the entire book the importance of treating the PERSON not the disease. Many physicians treat only the disease. Protocols that need to be followed are the priority. Very frustrating. Difficult to find an oncologist who treats the person

"What we learned that night was to let go. To quit hugging the minutes, hoarding the seconds. To let time pass as it had always had passed. We were going to go to work, as always, come home,fix dinner, sit together on the couch and watch a movie. We were going to find our strength, comfort and joy in the blessed triviality of life." This is my favorite passage.

Very touching auto-biographical book that honestly portrayed the last two years of man with cancer and the impact to him and his wife who had already lost one husband due to illness.
