Much like the Cancer Pain Sourcebook, the introduction in David Servan-Schreiber's book is quite explanatory itself.
The subject is about the author's shock about his just discovered brain cancer, and how he felt seperated from the common way of life, his depressing conviction that followed him for several years.
Much to the author's dismay, he feared early death, and he felt that his dreams were dashed now that he became a cancer patient.
He can relate to his audience, many other cancer patients, who feel isolated by many people living their lives without a glance towards the future -- or at least their deaths.
The author speaks as a cancer patient, being that he was one, and connects with his readers emotionally through his vivid descriptions.
The occasion starts with the author's initial shock of discovering his brain cancer, and then speeds up to 16 years later when he started writing this book.
The tone of the introduction is at first dismay, but then turns to determination. This determination is what guided the author to find the best way to deal with his cancer but still maintain a normal life.
This author truly understood the feelings of his fellow cancer patients, and tried to make a difference for them by finding the most natural way to heal - through the body itself.
