From cancer diagnosis, through the ups and downs of treatment, these poems portray the author's struggle to come to terms with the fragility of life. Some of the poems are somber, fearful of dying, while others are accepting of whatever comes. A few poems complain of the uncertainty of treatment, while others praise the doctors and researchers who discovered new drugs (immunotherapy) which have extended his life by at least several years. The almost 100 poems were written over a period of four years. The author is a former North Dakota state legislator who ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate after a scan showed no signs of cancer. The book might be useful to others who are struggling with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. Many of the author's experiences will resonate with feelings and thoughts of others, and therefore help them know they're not alone.
