I bought this book about one month ago in a book festival conducted by Mathrubhoomi in Thrippunithura statue junction Ernakulam. Actualy I came to to know about this book through Mathrubhoomi news paper.I will explain that, a couple of years ago on a sunday when I was reading this news paper its special suppliment had a story about Dr Paul kalanithy and his Book.From that moment I decided to buy a copy.Fortunately that happend nearly.
Now I am going to give an idea about the book "When Breath Becomes Air". From my point of view I am going to divide this book into two parts that is life before diagnosing with cancer and after life with the killer cell. Paul Kalanithy was a practising neurosurgeon and was too talented in his profession.During his training Lucy now Lucy Kalanithy came to his life.He was able to do long stretching and best skill requiring Brain surgeries. He was able to choose any other specialization he wants but choosed with most challenging neuro surgery.Unfortunately Paul suffered with lung cancer.He asked Emma(oncologist and his friend) how much time remains him to live even if that is some type of nonsense.If he has ten years he decided to continue his proffesion.If time is less, then decided to be a writer.In this point I want you to inform that he has masters in English literature and have profound knowledge in English literature.After his first scans Emma suggested him to use Tarceva tablets day by day it showed result and gave some hope to both Paul and Lucy.But fate didn`t allowed him to continue, during heavy chemo sessions he tried to write, there too fate interrupted him.Before starting chemo couples deciced to preserve his sperm and then it gave birth to dear Cady( Elizabeth Acadia). Atlast Dr Paul surrendered in front of the universal truth, remained his Lucy and Cady. This book is so breath taking. I suggest all of you to make a try and try hard not to cry.
