Mark’s journey and battle with cancer at the young age of fifty-one came as a complete shock as you can imagine. Eating right, exercising, and living for the future instead of living for the moment was Mark’s approach to life. “I want to be healthy,” he said, ready for his golden years, but then suddenly, within just a few short months, everything fell apart! Progressing from no symptoms whatsoever to advanced stage-four non-Hodgkin Burkitt lymphoma in less than three months, Mark was in big, big trouble! He had been diagnosed with one of the most aggressive forms of cancer anyone can get, and so his battle to survive began with the help from his wife and over thirty doctors. Mark poses an interesting question in this book that asks you to reflect on your life, back to the first memories from your childhood. How do our choices in life and the consequences of those choices affect our life’s path? Those decisions can ultimately determine our physical and mental health?
