By Steven Eisenberg
I found Love is the Strongest Medicine to be a touching and inspiring journey into the world of those who hear from their doctor that they have cancer. Not many books are written by the oncologists themselves about delivering such news and Dr. Eisenberg reveals much of himself, his own struggles as a doctor, and his growing depths of understanding and empathy. He has an innate understanding of what is required from the doctor when one receives such a diagnosis. His level of compassion in such a role is compounded by his intense love of music and his ability to share this with his patients. He even writes songs and plays his guitar for them as he joins them on their journeys back to health or helps them to let go as the end approaches. As a cancer sufferer or one who is touched by such an illness one would wish be treated by such a doctor with gratitude and great appreciation.
