New Book Living Life in Fast Forward Shares Insights About Making Time Count From A Journey With Cancer
S For Story/10638117
LONDON, Ontario - s4story -- Living Life in Fast Forward is more than a memoir. Author James J. Hammond shares the raw truth about what it's like to pursue your vision when you've been given an expiration date.
The lessons James learned from a life that was sped up are powerful for everyone, but especially for those facing a terminal prognosis, as well as their families and their physicians.
By looking at your life from a fast-forward perspective you can:
What Others Have Said:
Living with cancer is devastatingly difficult, but dying young is by far the hardest. In his book, James has accurately and succinctly explained what every single person with cancer should consider. He has artfully and eloquently told the truth. He has embodied that shift of hope we ask our patients to embrace, and if only, everyone could follow. This is not a memoir, but a series of lessons which need to be learned by patients, their families, and most especially, us, the oncologists. James's legacy will continue to live through his family, but his words will enliven everyone who reads them.

During his two-year journey with cancer, James had a chance to think and write about his life and its premature ending. We have the privilege to read those thoughts in this remarkable book. It was clearly written to bring some comfort to people who will travel down the same path, and those who accompany them. In particular, they will learn what they too might experience, and how one person learned to overcome his fears and live the rest of his life to the fullest.

More on S For Story
James was first diagnosed with cancer, Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (A-RMS), a rare and often lethal form of pediatric sarcoma, at age twenty-six. Following nine months of intensive treatment, he was deemed "cancer-free," returning to his routine of hard work, exercise, and spending time with friends and family, along with a new appreciation for life's ups and downs.
Unfortunately, a few weeks before his twenty-eighth birthday, James's cancer returned and he restarted even more aggressive treatment. Ten months later, following a routine procedure, he went into cardiac arrest and could not be resuscitated.
The James J. Hammond Fund was established to positively impact many future patients facing similarly dire situations and, ultimately, offer them a cure.
