| book description |

Â“Calming and illuminating . . . A story more gripping than frightening.â€Â—Janet Maslin, The New York Times Writer and documentary director Adam Wishartâ€™s poignant and timely book on cancer is the first of its kindÂ—a seamless blend of memoir and medical history that simultaneously explains science in an elegant, non-intimidating way and connects to the experience of being a patient. When his father was diagnosed with cancer, Wishart couldnâ€™t find a book that answered his most basic questions: What was the disease and how did it take hold? What is it about cancerâ€™s biology that makes it hard to eradicate? Are we to a cure? One in Three is a sonâ€™s personal and journalistic take on cancerâ€™s history and the encouraging story of scienceâ€™s progress in changing the outlook on cancer from a disease we die from to one we live with, providing the full account of the discovery of the disease, its treatment, and its prevention. Wishartâ€™s candid discussion of his personal link to cancer is ultimately a story of hope, and one in which we may all find comfort. One in three of us will develop cancer. This book will help us to understand it without fear.
