Life Lessons from Cancer

There is never a good day to discover that you have cancer, but Dr. Keen Babbage's timing was unique. He found that he had a rare and advanced form of nasal cancer the same week that his beloved mother, the daughter of a Kentucky Governor, died. Babbage, an accomplished educator who had written 13 books, was an unlikely candidate for middle-age health concerns. A lifelong fitness fanatic, Keen had been a careful eater and an exercise junkie. He once walked over 400 miles to deliver a baseball to Cincinnati to start the major league season. Cancer seemed like a bad break, but Keen had an ace in the hole: His sister-in-law Laura Babbage. As a registered nurse, former health care executive and Chaplain for the University of Kentucky Medical Center, Laura knows every aspect of the medical world. She had the leadership skills, spiritual fortitude and sense of humor it takes to walk with her brother-in-law through the peaks and valleys of a devastating diagnosis and often brutal cancer treatments. Laura made regular updates to a blog that allowed us to witness Keen's treatment and recovery on an "as it happens" basis. The good, the bad and the ugly. Life Lessons from Cancer is an extraordinary book about two extraordinary people. It's not just a book about cancer. It's about the courage of a man in a life and death struggle and a world class caregiver who documented the battle as it was taking place. This book is a superb reference for both cancer patient and cancer caregiver. Life Lessons from Cancer inspires us, but most of all it teaches us. It is a terrific book.
