Just read a story in this week's People Magazine(page#122)on Chef Grant Achatz who is coming out with a book March 3, a memoir of his experience with stage 4 tongue cancer. The article is very interesting as he shares his experience, both the emotional and medical journey that we too are on here. Wondered if anyone else has read it. I will be looking for the book for my husband and I as he and his story sounds inspiring.
