Stage IV lung cancer is one of the deadliest and most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide. Without effective treatment, patients with this diagnosis are typically given less than six months to live. After being told you're on the threshold of death, what can you do? Conventional wisdom emphasizes your best chance of living out the rest of your prognosis, and you might feel that, ultimately, this is the only realistic option. But there is another tool in the fight against cancer, one that is not fully understood but incredibly powerful-the will to live, and its most important fuel: hope.

Will to Live is a testament to the power of hope and a guide for how to take responsibility for your own healing. Breaking down the distinct phases of stage IV lung cancer survival, Paul Seyferth shares his process of building and maintaining hope throughout his own cancer treatment. Newly diagnosed stage IV lung cancer patients face an overwhelming amount of information on potential treatments, diets, fasting, and supplements as well as the emotional challenge of confronting their own mortality. Paul shows how taking on the role of citizen-scientist can help you navigate these challenges, build resilience, and make decisions about your treatment with more confidence.

A cancer diagnosis doesn't have to be a death sentence. The path to survival starts with the will to live.
