Review: What Don't Kill Me Just Makes Me Strong

What Don't Kill Me Just Makes Me Strong What Don't Kill Me Just Makes Me Strong by Stewart Francke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fascinating look at the sudden onset and eventual survival (triumph?) over acute myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (AML). Michigan musician Francke decorates the chapters with positive affirmation epigraphs and often lyrics to songs he wrote during this tribulation. People who have a similar cancer experience, or know someone that has, will relate to and fine value in this wide-eyed medical memoir about treatments, pitfalls, and a path to physical, personal, and spiritual recovery.
