Stem Cells Cancer & Me

Author: John McNamara
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN 978-1-4343-1022-4

This inspiring story of one man's confrontation with mortality, and the difficult -- and sometimes controversial -- decisions he had to make to save his life, Stem Cells Cancer & Me, candidly recounts the author's five-year battle with multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable form of cancer.

"We all travel the road of life and on occasion encounter road defects and detours," says McNamara. "Some of us will reach a detour and conceive what we think to be a dead end, only to find one of life's crossroads and a choice that must be made. Come along, travel with me on the five year journey and the choice that saved my life."
