`I was told I had cancer and that I must expect to die soon. Eight years later I still do my job and enjoy life. I have not been treated. Did my cancer simply disappear? Did I do nothing? Far from it. A number of things happened, many by accident. This book is about them.'Living Proof is the remarkable story of Michael Gearin-Tosh. Diagnosed with cancer when he was fifty-four, Michael refused the immediate treatment consultants urged him to undergo and embarked on his own quest to overcome the illness. As the days passed he fell back on his habits as a literature scholar, probing words, looking behind medical phrases and finding unexpected guides in memory and in authors he loved. Always, too, there is the presence of his three women friends, one a doctor, each with her own very individual angle. More than a cancer self-help book, Living Proof is a moving celebration of human existence and an absorbing account of a man who took control of his life, followed his instincts and engineered his own survival. 328pp, 129mm x197mm, softback, 2002
