Extraordinary Resolve - Six Months for the Rest of My Life (Paperback)

"I'm going to die. That's all I could think about." While on a cruise with his fiancee and friends to celebrate his 39th birthday, Bob Youngs came down with severe stomach pain. Although he made it through the remainder of the cruise, his fiancee urged him to see a doctor after returning home on Father's Day. After reluctantly visiting the doctor, Bob was found to be bleeding internally and was rushed to the emergency room. That night marked the beginning of a battle Bob never saw coming. This is the true story of Bob's six-month fight with Leukemia. Based on the daily blog his fiancee wrote to keep family and friends updated on Bob's condition, it's a powerful and emotional ride readers won't soon forget. Bob exposes the deepest parts of himself for all to see. He shares his doubts, fears, and what it's like to go "head to head with his own mortality." This is a story about a man who was read his last rites, who looked into the eyes of death and lived to tell about it. It's a story of vulnerability, raw emotion, and brutal honesty. Most of all, it's a story of extraordinary resolve.
