The Looking Mask: A Journey Through Cancer, is a powerful and intimate account of a man's fight with cancer, its physical and emotional consequences, and himself. Stephen Wendt is an outwardly successful man. He is a husband of thirty-four years, the father of three children, the grandfather of three, and a retired Naval Officer who served his country for almost twenty-eight years. Despite all his success, his life turns on the simple sentence: "You need to prepare yourself for the very real possibility that you have cancer." The Looking Mask is the story of Steve's five month fight with cancer. His cancer treatments include three operations, three rounds of chemotherapy and thirty-five daily radiation treatments. It is during his radiation treatments, while he is covered by a mask and bolted into a machine which immobilizes him, that Steve evaluates himself, the life he has lived and the decisions he has made in the past and those he may make in the future. The Looking Mask: A Journey Through Cancer, is a story of faith, love, and learning to cope with decisions made throughout a lifetime by a flawed, yet successful man. The Looking Mask will help others examine their lives, and how they live them.
