MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Maky Zanganeh, one of the most successful leaders in the healthcare industry, announces the release of her published memoir titled The Magic of Normal, a beautiful narrative that honors cancer survivors worldwide.
"Today is the first day of February, which is cancer survivor awareness month. As a cancer survivor, diagnosed back in 2020, I deeply care and understand about the challenges and difficulties that are faced by cancer patients worldwide," stated Maky Zanganeh.
"When I decided to write this book, I was an intensely busy businesswoman working on a variety of different projects, one more important than the next. All pushing me in various directions. I have always been extremely ambitious, and it is hard for me to prioritize when it comes to dividing my time. The truth is, I finally started writing the book because life forced me to slow down. Fate decided to change things and pace my life to the rhythm of my cancer treatments... And strangely enough at the same time, Covid stepped in and put the world on hold. A space-time dimension occurred where everything was punctuated by Covid ... the different waves in different countries ... in different continents ... waves that alternated between hope and despair."
"I was fortunate to overcome my ordeal with cancer in the middle of the Covid pandemic. And I was equally fortunate to get my vaccine just one year after the Coronavirus emerged. Amazingly, my life was back in order, and I was able to continue my new projects in medical research with even more conviction than ever. So, I dedicate this book that traces my private and professional journey, to all those whose lives have been interrupted and dream of returning to normal one day. I dedicate it to every patient going through the uncertainty and torment of cancer. I want you to know you are not alone. You are shielded with science, innovation and discovery. In front of you lies comradely, courage and hope." A Persian expression states: "In despair hides a great deal of hope and at the end of the darkness of night is daylight."
