Fighting Cancer (13th printing 2008) was written by Annette and Richard Bloch, co-founder of H&R Block. In 1978, Bloch was diagnosed with ‘inoperable’ lung cancer and told he had 90 days to live. Luckily he sought a second opinion and, after two years of arduous treatment, he was completely cured. This book is written for and dedicated to the people with cancer who want to do everything in their power to help themselves and their doctor so they will have the best chance of beating their disease.
