I manage an ethics committee (Institutional Review Board) that reviews and approves many cancer research studies at the hospital where I work. His descriptions of his own journey gives me an even higher appreciation of the value of my part in cancer research. I am also writing my own memoir of my journey, since 1990, with AIDS. I am just getting to the part where my life threatening episodes started. This book reminded me of things I need to remember to say, and made me hopeful that my words might also help others the way his helped me. (less)
