Boy in the Mirror

Bag om Boy in the Mirror

¿When you turn on the bathroom light your reflection stares numbly back at you, gormless and vacant. You blink. Your eyes are yellow, as is your skin. Yoüve lost weight: your pyjamas hang off your arms like the wilting leaves of a dying plant. You stare at yourself in the mirror for several surreal minutes. The thing before you is not you. But it is.¿ In January 2011, aged 21, Tom Preston was diagnosed with stage 4 advanced aggressive lymphoma. His chances of survival were optimistically placed at around 40%. This short, autobiographical work tells the story of the fight in the months that followed ¿ but this is no ordinary cancer memoir. The Boy in the Mirror is written in the second person ¿ so the events in this book are happening to you, the reader, living through the hope, love, suffering, death and black comedy encountered by Tom during the battle to save himself. "A raw account of his months of excrutiating pioneering treatment." - The Sunday Times "This is ultimately a book about love, trust, and overcoming death-defying odds." - The Sun
