Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books out there that explain how cancer works biologically. There are countless books that give the reader a deep understanding of how chemotherapy works, how radiotherapy works and how the medication works. They will go into detail about wigs, headscarves, injections, surgery, CT scans, X-Rays, PET scans and so on. But very few cancer books focus on the most important part - the mind. How is your mind going to survive an illness that is turning your life upside down? Cancer books always insist that you need to stay positive but it's not that simple. You need to prepare better than "stay positive." When does it start feeling normal? How much of the battle is in your head? How will people perceive you? This doesn't mean I will neglect to discuss treatment, surgery and medical scans. But I will detail these factors in plain language rather than medical terminology, which many cancer patients find alienating and unhelpful. Read on to learn how to combat cancer - physically and mentally.

Why would anyone lie about the shape of the Earth? How can Flat Earthers be so sure? If the Earth is flat, why doesn't the oceans spill out at the sides? All of these questions will be explained in this book. Read on to learn the history of the Flat Earth community, why they believe what they believe, and most importantly, how we know their beliefs are irrefutably false.
