Boy in the Mirror by Tom Preston

When you turn on the bathroom light your reflection>stares numbly back at you, gormless and vacant. You blink. Your eyes are yellow, as is your skin. You've lost weight: your pyjamas hang off your arms like the wilting leaves of>a dying plant.

You stare at yourself in the mirror for several surreal>minutes. The thing before you is not you. But it is.

In January 2011, aged 21, Tom Preston was diagnosed with stage 4 advanced aggressive lymphoma. His chances of survival were optimistically placed at around 40%. This short, autobiographical work tells the story of the fight in the months that followed - but this is no ordinary cancer memoir.

The Boy in the Mirror is written in the second person - so the events in this book are happening to you, the reader, living through the hope, love, suffering, death and black comedy encountered by Tom during the battle to save himself.

A raw account of his months of excrutiating pioneering treatment. - The Sunday Times

This is ultimately a book about love, trust, and overcoming death-defying odds. - The Sun
