Description
At the age of 53, Anthony Pillage was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live.
Pillage, a larger-than-life martial arts expert, now in a fight for his life, christened the massive tumour in his chest, 'Bob'.
He took autonomy over his health care, implementing an extreme regime of pills, potions, supplements and diet. In a sanity-saving attempt, he started to document day-to-day accounts of the ups and downs of his journey on social media.
Breaking Bob is an uplifting, hilarious, often scary, and brutally honest account of outwitting cancer.
Three years later he's still here and living an extraordinary life.
Advance Praise
"I don't know what so say about this book to do it justice! Read this book!! Seriously GO BUY IT!!
It's a beautiful insight into a warriors battle against cancer and theirs nothing that can be said other than it's truly inspirational! Anthony Sean Pillage not only describes what it was like being diagnosed and the devastating impact it has on your life but also demonstrates a true warriors spirit of never giving up and fighting this horrendous disease!
Honestly I'm touched to have been given a copy and would recommend this book to everyone!!" Jamie Seal
"A frank and wonderful read with a massively personal insight into the life changing world of cancer.
I had reservations on reading this, especially with being fortunate enough to know Tony, but also because, like so many, I have also had been affected by love ones who have experienced the effects of their own "Bob".
The book really captures Tony, warts and all, and highlights not only his achievements with his cancer journey but also his amazing work he has done, especially in his local community." Jables84
"A fantastically written chronology charting the journey of someone living with cancer. Anthony's style engages the reader on a personal level to show the highs and lows experienced and the coping strategies employed in fighting back against "Bob."
This book is a must-read not only for those experiencing cancer but also for those who know someone with this disease. Much more than this though, it is stark reminder of how precious time and life is and how it should be experienced to the utmost." Mike Knight
