Cancer on the Brain One Man Journey of Baseball Business and Beating the Odds eBook Jay Lefevers Reviews
Jay Lefevers brings you into his life in this memoir CANCER ON THE BRAIN. This is an account of the author's life from the time he was diagnosed with brain cancer in September 2005 to the time he kicked cancer's butt in 2009.
Lefevers tells you how he built his business and found the love of his life -- his second wife, while he continued to coach a little league baseball team. When his leg started going numb and spasming, Lefevers tried to find an answer, but his doctor would not give him one, treating Lefevers as an irritant. Well, he said "Bye bye" to that doctor, found another one and had his life turned upside down with the diagnosis of a brain tumor. Three surgeries later, he defeated that cancer, but it came back in his lymph nodes until he beat it back one more time.
Now, I have no idea who Lefevers is. I am not familiar with his business or any aspect of his life, but after reading this, I have to give this man props. He fought against and beat the odds and then proceeded to write an engaging book. Trust me. I am very critical of memoirs. Most of the time, I cannot finish them and they put me to sleep. I picture beating my head repeatedly into a hornet's nest most of the time when I read memoirs. Surprisingly, this was not the case with this book.
It was engaging. It was touching. It was funny. Lefevers wrote it with depth and emotion. You can feel it in every sentence. Now, cancer has touched my life, as it has many other people's. I have lost more than two family members to it. It sucks! I do not know of one single person who has not been affected by cancer in one way or another. If you want a book that is real about the horrors and the unknowns of cancer, yet is uplifting and humorous, this is the book for you, whether you yourself are fighting it or watching a loved one in the battle.
All in all, 4 out of 5 stars. Bravo, Lefevers! Keep fighting the good fight!
I started this book, expecting to need some tissues close, and to just have a terribly sad day after I finished it, but that didn't really happen. Not because it wasn't upsetting, or sad that this wonderful person and family went through this, but because the author has an amazing sense of humor.
This is a wonderful book, one of those kinds that leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, and Jay Lefevers, really does an excellent job conveying his feelings through the pages of this book. I commend him for his whole attitude during this whole ordeal, and as much as he is a hero to his baseball team, he will end up being a hero for you when you read his book.
Of course, there were several sad parts, and very crushing moments. Especially when he had to tell his wife about what the doctors had found. But, even through all of it, he kept his humor, his positive attitude, and held everything together, as much if not more then anybody can expect from a cancer patient.
I really enjoyed reading his story about how he met his wife, about their children, his baseball team, and I could relate to the sections about the goofball doctors, the odd things that happen at the doctors office, and the weird phone calls that sometimes seem to make no sense at all. I was happy to know I wasn't alone in thinking doctors are a bit "weird" sometimes;)
I can't say we have anybody in our family that has had cancer, but we have had our share of medical mysteries, and medical issues. We have always taken a positive approach, even though it is very hard to keep that going all the time. The author and his family are admirable in many ways, and I am grateful for having read this book, and being reminded just how strong and powerful, people really are.
I would recommend this book for cancer survivors, patients, families of cancer survivors, any disease or illness really, as this book may just provide a few laughs and smiles along the way!
** I received a copy of this book in return for my honest review **
When I signed up to review Cancer on the Brain, courtesy of Emerald Book Company in exchange for an honest review, I really didn't know what expect as I don't read memoirs, but I thought I would give the memoir genre a try. Surprisingly the author never tries to push a spiritual revelation onto the reader, but instead he uses humor, and creative narration to tell his inspirational journey.
What I like about Jay Lefevers is that he is an ordinary man, who runs his own real estate company, Lefevers' Viewpoint Group. He loves spending time with his family, and coaching Junior/Senior Little League as he has always been a die-hard baseball fan. Even after having a tumor removed from his brain and after surviving non-Hodgkin's, Jay always had a positive attitude and moved forward with life, from taking his family on vacation, helping the kids on the Little League team, and running a successful business.
I had an aunt who went gone through and concurred cancer, and I have even had a brief cancer scare myself a few years back. I thought Cancer on the Brain would be a depressing topic to read, but the author uses humor with the everyday cancer situations that he came across. I especially enjoyed the support system he received from his family and friends, especially the part when he went into work to find his employees had shaved off their heads. Cancer on the Brain is funny and heartwarming. I recommend the book to all readers.
I received this book yesterday and I couldn't put it down. I even stayed up past my bedtime so that I could finish. Mr. Lefevers' tales of these two life changing events as well as his outlook were very inspirational. You never know how you will deal with medical situations like these, but his humor, attitude, strength as well as his love and supporting family got him through. I highly recommend this book.
This book was exciting from beginning to end. Jay Lefevers takes the reader on a journey through 2 tough medical/health battles, and the strong courage to coach an inner city youth baseball team. This amazing story shows the value between father/daughter relationship. I encourage everyone to purchase this book and impact our families and communities through Jay Lefevers story of "Cancer on the Brain".
