candid, authentic struggle
Jeff's diary from the day of his check-up through the treatment of his cancer is a soul-searching piece. Sometimes humorous, realistic throughout, he describes the daily challenges and questions that we all would face in the throws of diagnosis: how/when do you tell your wife? what does this MEAN? what will happen to me? to the other people in the chemo ward? HOW WILL I DEAL WITH THIS? A deeply touching piece, that maintains the "edginess" of a guy's way of looking at things.
