MAY IS NATIONAL BRAIN CANCER AWARENESS
MONTH!
TUMOR ME – THE STORY OF MY FIREFIGHTER
written by local author, Judith DeChesere-Boyle, is a new memoir that
chronicles the nine-year battle of her son, Alex Stevenson,
a CAL FIRE Fire Apparatus Engineer, who served in Napa County, CA.
Alex Stevenson died at the age of 39 on May 24, 2013 of
job-related brain cancer. He was awarded full honors by CAL FIRE, his
firefighting “family” and was further honored at the IAFF Fallen Firefighter
Memorial in Colorado Springs, CO in September 2013 as well as by the California
Fire Foundation in Sacramento, CA in October 2013. The “blurb” on the back
cover of the memoir introduces the story of a man who had been living his
childhood dream of being a firefighter until he was diagnosed with the brain
cancer that took his life. This 500-page memoir chronicles the journey and
includes an appendix with “words for Alex” from his CAL FIRE colleagues as well
as others. The author is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
this memoir to the American Brain Tumor Association. It is available on
Amazon.com.
