| Summary |
"Before Lance Armstrong and his bike, there was Ian Gawler and his inspirational fight for survival against cancer. At the end of 1974 Dr Ian Gawler, an ambitious young veterinarian and athlete, developed bone cancer in his right leg. The leg was amputated at the hip. The following year, the cancer spread to his pelvis. Gawler was told that nothing could be done for him and that he had only months to live. Gawler refused to give up, and began studying meditation and following a strict diet, pursuing an intense regime of research, introspection and personal development. Against all odds and prognoses, his cancer began to retreat and he was eventually declared clear of cancer in 1978."--Provided by publisher |
