Cancer and Pisces: One man's story of his unique survival of cancer, interwoven with the joy and succour of fishing

In 2013, Mick May was diagnosed with the fatal asbestos-linked cancer, mesothelioma; seven years later he is flourishing, with a long life-expectancy ahead of him. Mick's medical journey makes for a fascinating read as it weaves from the pain of his many treatments to the pleasures of his fishing trips to many British and exotic rivers. We highly recommend you read this inspiring book A tale of tails, fishy and fabulous, and in aid of an important cause, full of humour full of heart. An inspiring book This quirky, intriguing and inspirational memoir is the sort of book you could admire and enjoy even if you had not the slightest interest in fishing. In his new book, each milestone, struggle and success is portrayed against a backdrop of fishing. May writes honestly and humorously of days by the river transporting him to "another world". Fishing is the balm to all troubles, frequently on the Mottisfont beat of his beloved River Test, but also as far afield as Patagonia and Russia. There cannot be many anglers for whom the diagnosis of a killer disease results in a dramatic increase in catches, but Mick May is one of them. The two stories – those of his love of fishing and that of his ordeal against cancer – are masterfully intervoven into a compelling story of joy, despair, and release. In 2013, Mick May was diagnosed with the fatal asbestos-linked cancer, mesothelioma, whose average medical life expectancy is 10 months.
