A cancer diagnosis is intimidating and heart-stopping. Treatment is both discomforting and discomfiting. The Lie Called Cancer tells how the author lived through it all while thriving joyfully. Well, mostly. Alan Searle walks us through his personal valley of the shadow of death, where it was very dark at times, but the view of the mountaintops was always present.The Lie Called Cancer is raw, funny and sometimes rude. It rips the bandage off to reveal the author's wounds, physical and spiritual. It shows how prayer and encouragement bound him up when he hurt, lifted him up when he was down, and moved him forward when he was fearful and ready to quit.
