The Backroad to Cloud 9 (or what Carcinoid Cancer has taught me) is the author's story of his battle with carcinoid cancer. From repeated misdiagnoses through multiple surgeries to understanding how wonderful his family and friends are, this book discusses many of the realities of carcinoid cancer - which is a subset of neuroendocrine tumors.
Rare and hard to detect, most carcinoid tumors are typically found after a patient has been diagnosed with another malady, such as Crohn's Disease. Approximately 12,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with these every year.
Carcinoid tumors are slow-growing and usually begin in the GI tract or in the lungs before moving on to other targets, like the liver. Through it all, J. Warren Lunne maintains a healthy sense of humor and irreverence.
