The Test of My Life from Cricket to Cancer and Back (by Yuvraj Singh, Nishant Jeet Arora, Sharda Ugra)

The Test of My Life: From Cricket to Cancer and Back Book

Description

About the Book :

'The Test of My Life' is a memoir of the dashing Indian team Cricketer, Yuvraj
Singh, while he was fighting his ordeal with Cancer. The book is all about Cricket,
Cancer and back to Cricket again. It talks about the indestructible love that Yuvraj
has for Cricket that even a perilous disease like Cancer did not stop him from
playing in the World Cup in 2011.
'That day I cried like a baby not because I feared what cancer would do but
because I didn't want the disease. I wanted my life to be normal, which it could
not be.' This book for the first time reveals such innately honest confessions of
this star Cricketer. In this debut book, The Test of My Life, Yuvraj discloses his
personal fight going within himself- his torturous treatment of Chemotherapy that
made him feel low and scared, insomnia, hair loss, coughing fits which resulted
into vomiting blood, loss of his appetite, and so on.
The book is written with blatant honesty and the anxieties experienced by Yuvraj
before and while going through the Chemotherapy. He asks his doctor before the
therapy about his anxieties such as will he be 'able to father a child in the future'
or if he 'could maybe preserve his sperm' before the treatment initiates. The Test
of My Life bares the terrible loneliness that he felt staring out the window in
Indianapolis during his treatment.
The Test of My Life is a book about a yet another triumph of a person over
Cancer. It is a book that will inspire the generation to come. It is about the
human will to fight against all odds and emerge out of it triumphantly and what
could be more inspiring than a real life story of a star Indian Cricketer of this era.
The Test of My Life was released by Sachin Tendulkar who has been Yuvraj's
inspiration all along.
