Rollercoaster

By (author): Wayne Tefs

In 1994, Wayne Tefs was diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome. Rollercoaster is an account of his journey from the onset of the disease, to eventually learning to live with it. Both practical and spiritual, the book is a must-read not only for those suffering from cancer, but for their loved ones, caregivers and even for those few whose lives have gone untouched by cancer.”The magnetism of Wayne Tefs’ written odyssey with his own carcinoid cancer was so intense for me that I was compelled to read his book from cover to cover before putting it down. Everything rings true.”–Monica Warner, M.S., R.D., C.D.N., Director of Development and Research Coordinator, Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc., N.Y.C.
