Pancreatic Cancer: A Patient and His Doctor Balance Hope and Truth
About the Book In telling these stories, Lippe and Le alternate chapters. Lippe writes
about the early signs that something was wrong; Le continues with a
description of pancreatic cancer, its symptoms, and its treatments.
Lippe talks about his prognosis, contemplates the prospect of death,
and describes how he began to cope; Le explains the importance, for
both doctor and patient, of balancing hope and truth. Lippe speaks
frankly about the toll the disease takes on his marriage and family; Le
offers a general picture of what most patients can expect with their
illness. The book concludes with Lippe and Le's reflections on their
partnership in treating cancer, lessons they have learned, and their
thoughts about the positive things that sometimes emerge from illness.
