When American saxophonist and social activist Fred Ho was diagnosed with stage 3b colo-rectal cancer in 2006 he underwent immediate surgery to remove the tumor and began preparing for chemotherapy. Within days his friends mobilized to arrange grocery deliveries, transport, companionship, and housekeeping duties—they called themselves “Warriors for Fred.” Fred chose to write his astonishing cancer memoir as a diary, acknowledging that all the greatest warriors from Sun Tzu to swordsman Murasashi to Bruce Lee wrote daily diaries because warfare against a most formidable enemy will be won, ultimately, on the philosophical level. With incredibly detailed entries Fred talks frankly about his battle—his meticulous research, his various treatments, his successes, and his failures. Together, he and his loved ones discuss plans for future artistic projects: a new opera on Antony and Cleopatra, a project with a native Alaskan totem carver, and an underwater ballet for synchronized swimmers. He learns to find joy in the simple things: the beauty of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, a fresh pork bun, or a night of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. Above all, we learn what it means to truly live in the present—through Fred’s unflinching description of the effects of colon cancer—and about his search not just for “a cure” in a medical sense, but for true healing. For Fred, this includes understanding the way of the warrior—one who fights for beauty, justice, health, equity, and sustainability.

This book was released on 2011-07. Cancer Warrior available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
