After author John Butler was dignosed with the frighteningly advanced stage four base of tongue cancer, he had no choice but to undergo an aggressive regimen of high dosage chemotherapy and extensive radiation sessions.  What could not be foreseen was the turn of events following treatment that would make the trials of the biblical Job seem mild by comparison. 

This memoir is a wry, harrowing, and at times unexpectedly humorous account of one person’s struggle to survive trauma while balancing the demands of everyday life.
