«A Prova Viva» is the autobiographical account of Michael Gearin-Tosh, published by Estrela Polar in paperback, in Portuguese.
The author, a professor of literature at Oxford, recounts his diagnosis of bone marrow cancer at age 54 and the survival probability of 0.005%. Faced with the prognosis, he chose alternative methods and a firm will; the book covers that decade of struggle and reflects on life, medicine, and human resistance to death.
The work was published in 2005; its original subtitle is «O Sobrevivente 0.005% - Um Motim na Medicina».
Recommended for readers interested in stories of overcoming, philosophy of life, and the relationship between medicine and personal decisions.
