Series of Catastrophes and Miracles, A: A True Story of Love, Science, and Cancer

A wry, witty account of what it is like to face deathâ€”and be restored to life.

After being diagnosed in her early 40s with metastatic melanomaâ€”a "rapidly fatal" form of cancerâ€”journalist and mother of two Mary Elizabeth Williams finds herself in a race against the clock. She takes a once-in-a-lifetime chance and joins a clinical trial for immunotherapy, a revolutionary drug regimen that trains the body to vanquish malignant cells. Astonishingly, her cancer disappears entirely in just a few weeks. But at the same time, her best friend embarks on a cancer journey of her ownâ€”with very different results. Williams's experiences as a patient and a medical test subject reveal with stark honesty what it takes to weather disease, the extraordinary new developments that are rewriting the rules of scienceâ€”and the healing power of human connection.
