TIM'S WORLD: Life, Love, Radiation Oncology
“Cancer is the poetry of your body without the rhyme or meter,” the first sentence of “Tim’s World,”
starts the reader on their journey with Dr. Tim Williams, a physician who has been treating cancer
patients for almost 40 years. By recounting the stories of some of his most memorable patients, and
weaving them together with his own life experiences, Dr. Williams combines the world of cancer
treatment with the ups and downs of his own personal story, creating a strong and humble statement of
the human condition. Whether it’s Mary, a seven-year-old brain cancer patient Dr. Williams treated
during his training and who, 35 years later, still follows him every day in his clinic, to his amazement at
the resilience and fortitude of Ana, an illegal immigrant with three small children and a big problem, or
any of his other amazing stories, the reader will learn that everybody has a story, a world, and all of our
worlds are connected. Join him and learn how in Tim’s World – and in your world as well – you will find
courage and strength beyond measure, learn that every day is a victory, and realize that, in the end, love
is the only thing that really matters.

very heartfelt
This book is so warm in the words written to describe the journey each patient goes through upon their individual diagnosis. At the same time you feel the emotion not only in the patient but with Dr Williams. As a cancer survivor, this book was thought provoking and appreciated.
