The Emperor of all maladies: a biography of cancer

The emperor of all maladies: a biography of cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee  571 pgs.

It took me awhile to read this book, not because it isn't well written or compelling but at times it is difficult to realize how far we have to go with this cancer thing.  Of course it has come very far since the days of discovery.  The struggles and breakthroughs in research are all here.  Of course there are untold others who tried different research angles and made no headway.  I guess that is what was so overwhelming about this book, it really makes you think and also makes you reflect on the gift of good health.
