Go To Your Happy Place
Under the Mask
Diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck cancer at age 48, author and narrator Kevin Jerge faced the challenge of his life. At the beginning of his 7-week treatment, one of his nurses suggested he go to his happy place to help deal with the discomfort and anxiety. Growing up as one of 5 boys in a blue-collar suburb of Buffalo during the magical time of the 1970s and 1980s, Kevin heeded his nurse's advice and interlaced the pages of his journey through treatment with memories of what he felt was the best time to be alive as a kid. The characters in both periods are memorable, relatable, and inspiring. I learned that battling cancer, even with great support, can be a very insular or lonely experience. This is the first book in a series of books that detail Kevin's road to remission. I hope this series brings insight and understanding to the many cancer patients and their families as they deal with their own battles.
