Book excerpt: A funny, touching and hopeful memoir from national TV host, TEDx speaker and survivor of stage 3 melanoma, Dave Aizer.For over 20 years, Dave Aizer has hosted TV shows for Nickelodeon, CBS, The CW, Fox Sports and more. He's interviewed countless celebrities and hosted morning shows, game shows, red carpets and sporting events. Although Dave has no problem under the bright lights, the bright sun turned out to be a huge problem for him, as it gave Dave advanced melanoma. Dave's battle with this aggressive cancer was made much worse by his tendency to be a raging hypochondriac. In A Hypochondriac's Guide To Beating Cancer Dave shares his numerous neurotic meltdowns during his melanoma journey. Every symptom became, in his mind, the cancer ravaging his body, no matter what the CAT scans, blood work and his team of doctors said. A harmless cough had to be lung cancer, his foot falling asleep clearly was a spinal tumor, the little cyst on his forehead was undoubtedly bone cancer, and that imaginary smell could only be a brain tumor! None of those crises, nor the countless other ones he experienced, turned out to be anything of consequence. But that didn't stop Dave from obsessing about all of them.Dave's goal with this book is to make you laugh (even if it's at his expense), but also to give you hope and let you know it's okay to be scared, angry and irrational if you're going through a crisis. Think of this as your "permission slip" book. Your guide to own your feelings, whatever they may be. Please know that all the physical, mental and emotional pain Dave experienced led him to find purpose and gratitude, a message he hopes resonates with you. A Hypochondriac's Guide To Beating Cancer will make you laugh, make you cry and probably make you call your doctor. But after reading it you'll believe that if Dave can make it through his battle, you can make it through yours as well!
