The book “There’s a Flying Squirrel in My Coffee: Overcoming Cancer with the Help of My Pet” is probably the best cancer free book that I have ever read. It is the amazing story of Lt Commander Bill Goss who defeated cancer with the help of his pet squirrel.
A cancer free book inspired by a pet squirrel
An inspirational life story of a man who managed to prove that human will is stronger than any disease…
Bill Goss once used to be a garbage man.
While smelling the awful odor of the garbage during the ride of a garbage truck on his work shift, a weird idea sprang into his mind and became the ultimate purpose of his life; to become a military jet pilot!

This was crazy enough to admit it even to his closest friends, but finally, one day he managed to make his dream come true.
However, bad luck was waiting over the corner to strike him and he was diagnosed with mortal skin cancer. Was his flying career going to finish with such an inglorious end?
Find out how he managed to win his battle over cancer with the help of the last creature he would expect it from: his beloved pet squirrel. The same little pet that gave him the courage to write this excellent cancer free book!
A jet pilot who was a squirrel, writes his cancer free book!
It may be a little weird to attempt a comparison between a pet animal and an officer jet pilot. However, it would be a nice thought to draw a parallel line between the instinct of a flying animal, limited by nature in his flying ability, and a jet pilot. The latter is also restricted by his mortal illness. He is not very different to flying squirrel. He has got the will. Yet he lack the physical ability.
Will he let his physical limitation put an end to his lifelong dream? Absolutely not. A cancer free book that highlights with excellent color the unlimited power of the human body and spirit.
