The Real Fight by Kim Dalton
21-year-old Taekwondo champion Kim Dalton was diagnosed with a rare and terminal form of cancer. This is her account of coming to terms with the disease. An important feature of the book is the author's trenchant criticism of the cancer industry: the inspirational books, quack cures and doctors who play God; her recognition that most people find her illness confronting - not least because of her youth - is also described with perception and sympathy. Throughout, she emphasises the importance of knowledge: finding out everything possible about her cancer, even at the risk of alienating her doctors, has been crucial in her taking control. This book describes a journey through a universe of despair, hope, anger and understanding.
