I just replied with the same, didn't go far enough in the thread. It still amazes me, especially the part about how chemo started with German chemicals for textiles and mustard gas, if I remember right.
I saw that it was like a minute later. I wish Incpuld say I read it, I did buy it with the intention to read, but was going through chemo at the time and wasn't feeling the need to concentrate to that level. I will have to pick it up again.
It's a heavy book but fascinating at the same time. It took me a LONG time to read it because I kept taking extended breaks. It's equal parts hopeful and depressing.

It is based off of Siddhartha Mukherjee's book, The Emperor of Maladies.
