About the Book

The inspirational true story of one man's struggle against cancer, as he bravely undergoes an experimental treatment that may offer new hope to cancer patients everywhere. What started as a pair of small brain tumors quickly became Stage IV kidney cancer, which had already metastasized to Peter Rooney's arm and leg. Faced with the prognosis of an incurable disease and desperate to find a way to fight back, Immunopatient follows Rooney as he explores the cutting edge of immunology and medical science, looking for an answer...and for hope.

About the Author :
Peter Rooney has more than a decade's experience working as an award-winning journalist for newspapers in Illinois and for the Associated Press in Berlin. Peter also worked alongside Gehrung Associates to help academic institutions tell their stories through the publication of research breakthroughs, unconventional wisdom from the social sciences, and other insights from academia. He was heading up communications at Amherst College when he was diagnosed with advanced stage kidney cancer, which had already progressed to his bones, lungs, lymph nodes and brain. He lives in Keene, NH, with his wife, Katharina.
