In IN MY HANDS, surgical oncologist Dr. Steven Curley shares the
empowering lessons he's learned over 25 years from his cancer
patients' unique stories of struggle, perseverance, and triumph. As
Chief of Surgical Oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr.
Steven Curley has worked with cancer patients for over two decades.
While his life's work has been to help his patients live longer
lives, he found that they helped him in ways he never could have
expected. IN MY HANDS is a rare, often emotional look at some of
Dr. Curley's real patients and real situations in modern cancer
care. These stories of resilience, hope, and determination changed
and inspired Dr. Curley, and he uses these same stories to
encourage patients dealing with the fear and uncertainty coupled
with a diagnosis of cancer. Every story in the book has a theme
inspired by his patients: Hope, Courage, Strength, Determination,
Wonder, Cooperation, Creativity, Diligence, Service, Perseverance,
Wisdom, Grace, Consideration, Gratitude, Discernment, Reverence,
Resourcefulness, Faith, Beauty, Acceptance, and Empathy. Some are
positive messages, reminding us of the importance of maintaining
balance between family, work, and leisure activities. Others are
examples of the remarkable resilience of the human spirit when
facing the reality of and the surgical risks that accompany a
cancer diagnosis. Realistically, despite remarkable advances in
multidisciplinary cancer care, some remind us cancer is still a
potentially lethal and destructive disease affecting patients and
the family and friends supporting them. While many people are told
that there is no hope in their situation, Dr. Curley's patients
taught him to always provide hope, to push the envelope and give
people a chance, and that hope is a critical component of treatment
and care. IN MY HANDS is medical narrative at its finest, and
provides insight into medicine and patient care along with
fascinating details about one of our most feared diseases.
