An Unexpected Challenge: My Battle with Cancer - Paperback

by Ian de V. Carrington (Author)

This is the story of a particularly trying episode in the life of a young man from Barbados - Ian Carrington - who falls seriously ill while far away from home pursuing graduate studies at a university in a foreign country. It chronicles his search for answers from the medical community in the United Kingdom, and the subsequent diagnosis of a cancer. Foremost in all of this unfolding drama, is Ian's determination to shield his wife and young children and other family members back home in Barbados from the bad news as long as possible. It is an enthralling narrative. Ian's experiences lead to introspection and a quest to lead a healthier lifestyle, not only for himself but also to provide support for others in similar circumstances.
