A wild and raw tale of Willy’s life – from his early career in stand-up comedy, to his successful and seminal TV show, to his work on the radio – but then beyond, to a world of alcoholism, chronic drug addiction, long standing bouts of depression and a major stroke suffered for good measure. But apart from those minor occurrences, it’s a pretty run of the mill read… if you’re illiterate.
By the popular star of ‘Funny Business’ and Radio Hauraki Morning Pirates (and let’s not forget the Harvey Chicken ads…)
In 2017, David got what he thought was a mild touch of the 'flu. This book is the story of why David would make a lousy doctor.
Contrary to the book's title, David had lymphoma and it was terminal. But A Mild Touch of the Cancer isn't your standard 'how I survived' compendium. It is a hilarious tale, written while battling one of life's greatest challenges. It's a book about living with optimism and positivity, by a self-proclaimed Genetically Modified Organism.
David's book documents a year of gruelling treatment, which at one point nearly made him sell his house in order to raise the necessary $1M for trial CAR-T cell treatment in Boston, US. It was this treatment that saved his life.
It's not just a book for those living with cancer - it's for anyone that enjoys an uplifting story of survival against the odds - and a good laugh.
