Description
A bone marrow transplant and beyond: an American healthcare odyssey...
Having rebuilt his life after a painful divorce, Peter was on top of the world.
Recently remarried, a thriving career, living in a beautiful mountain resort - life was looking up again.
Suddenly an aggressive case of leukemia turned his world upside down.
His only hope for survival was a bone marrow transplant, and at his age the outlook wasn't good...
In this gripping chronicle, Peter Gordon describes the initial shock, the ensuing scramble, the anxious wait for a matching donor, the long hospitalization for the transplant itself, and the surprisingly difficult road afterward. And that's just part of the story. His wife suffers a debilitating injury, tossing the couple into intertwined roles of patient and caregiver.
For several years they struggle together through one challenge after another.
Peter's story provides a riveting, "in the moment" view of a regular guy and his wife grappling with cancer and its many offshoots.
He shares razor-sharp observations, moments of deep introspection, and the wide emotional swings of their journey: from stressful and gut-wrenching, to humorous, heartwarming, and poignant.
Six Years and Counting is a real-world healthcare saga for our times, offering insightful lessons for cancer patients, caregivers, and medical professionals.
It's also a touching story about relationships, family, and self-discovery - and ultimately an inspiring tale of resilience and love.
