"Mi vuelta a la vida"
The translated title would be "My journey back to life". The authors are Lance Armstrong & Sally Jenkins.
Lance is a great cyclist who is always amazing in any course of the Tour de France.
This book is an autobiography where he relates his dramatic experience with cancer. It describes his battle with cancer from his diagnosis until his cure and then his return to the competition. Also he includes autobiographical notes about his relationships with his family, wife and sponsors. He reflects that when everything was ok everybody was happy to help him but when he had trouble most people gave him the cold-shoulder and only a few remembered him.
He writes about how he works through testicular cancer and its painful treatment.
Then after this he founded an association against cancer.
He discovered, with this illness, who were really his friends and who truly love him. He especially thanks his wife.
Also, he was given a letter from the other cancer patients. It said: "Although you don't know it yet you are lucky".
After cancer, Lance won 7 Tours and he realised his dream of being a father.
