About the Book

On the Far Side of the Curve: A Stage IV Colon Cancer Survivor's Journey is cancer survivor Wayne Cooke's dramatic and comprehensive book about overcoming the odds-making it to the far side of the survival curve-moving on with his life, and his easy-to-follow lessons for coping...and surviving. Following a Stage IV colon cancer diagnosis, the author underwent three major surgeries and more than seventy cycles of chemo and infusional therapy. Six years later, he is sharing the lessons, coping techniques, wisdom, humor, and enthusiasm that supported him throughout his lengthy treatment. Whether one is diagnosed with colon cancer or another type of cancer, patients, caregivers, family, and friends will benefit from the lessons described in this book. From the vital role played by caregivers to keeping the faith, from remaining positive to planning for the future, this deeply personal book brings readers into the life and the hopes of a man who continues in his valiant fight against cancer.
About the Author: Having lived and worked on three continents, Wayne Cooke has enjoyed a lifetime of memorable experiences. But they were only a prologue to his valiant and remarkable battle with stage IV cancer. Raised in Bowling Green, Ohio, the author earned a BBA with distinction from the University of Michigan. Following three years in the United States Navy, he returned to Michigan and earned his MBA, with distinction. After thirty years with IBM-and management positions that took him and his family to The Netherlands, Paris and Hong Kong-he retired and joined his wife selling residential real estate in Princeton, NJ. Despite having a clean colonoscopy in August 2000, the author was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in November 2003. He has since undergone three major surgeries and over seventy cycles of chemo and infusional therapy, and has been a cancer survivor for six years. The author and his wife have two adult children, two grandsons, and reside in Princeton Township, New Jersey.
