FROM A GREAT ESCAPE TO A NEW AWAKENING - MY JOURNEY THROUGH CANCER
This is an autobiography of a cancer survivor, a veteran network news journalist. For 38 years since 1971, the author, as Asia video editor for ABC News, chased news stories round the clock, often without sleep. With early retirement in sight, the sudden diagnosis of cancer one day radically changed his lifestyle overnight. By an unusual coincidence, his links to golf were also linked to his discovery of cancer. Here's a man who led an incredible life even before he overcame his battle with cancer. It took more than the conventional means of treatment. His treatment and road to recovery is a revelation. Today, as a cancer survivor and a retiree who now enjoys a healthier and more fulfilling life, the author tells a compelling story of how he entered into the darkest tunnel and emerged, a more vigilant and environmentally aware individual. Eddy Li shares his painful experience, what he has learned about an increasingly hazardous environment and how you can protect yourself from its toxicity.

"Sassy" the Face of Courage
She was fifteen, and had dreams of a vocation and a family. Suddenly the breadth and depth of cancer shattered that dream. But this girl purposed in her heart to face the unknown. Little did she know who all would come to help her become a woman of courage. It didn’t seem possible that this girl could be a champion while the machines gave her life. The first challenge was the side effects of chemotherapy, but the bigger challenge was an infection. Nurses, doctors, chaplains, parents, and many friends took turns keeping this champion alive in PICU. Learning to talk, write, and walk again was a new and bigger challenge. There were the therapists, child life specialists, schoolteachers, and awesome nurses who came to help this young champion. Throwing the stuffed cow at the doctors was not only therapy, it was fun. Then a special gospel singer by the name of Karen Wheaton put a vision into Sassy. If God had called her to this challenge, she would walk worthily of that calling.
