The Road to Ultimate Peace: My Parents' Cancer Diagnosis, Treatment, Fight and My Role in Their Care Derick Hendricks

This book is not a scholarly piece of work. In no way, is it meant to be an academic text. On the contrary, this essay is an account of my parents' cancer diagnosis, treatment, fight and how I dealt with it. In addition to documenting some circumstances, which were related to their illness, and how I reacted to them, my wish is for this literature to positively touch the life of at least one person, who experienced the horrors that I did, when I learned that my parents had become cancer patients, and to provide some sort of hope and peace of mind to the aforementioned individual. Accordingly, my intention for this book is to serve the following two purposes: 1. To keep a record of an important phase in the lives of my parents and myself and 2. To help other individuals who may be or may have been in a similar situation as we were.
