Yet in 2011, Williams added an unwanted statistic: He became one of the millions of people who learned he had cancer.
After a routine checkup, his doctor told Williams he had multiple myeloma, a rare and incurable blood cancer. Calling on his faith and fighting spirit, Pat's mantra became "The mission is remission." After a stem cell treatment and rounds of chemotherapy, he succeeded in the fight of his life: the myeloma can no longer be detected.
Williams shares his story and the six essential healing factors that helped him win his battle. He reveals how he was buoyed by faith, family, and a different kind of defensive team--his doctors. With pragmatic and motivating tips, plus advice from other cancer survivors,
Playing to Win will be an empowering resource for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis. Today, in addition to his work with the Orlando Magic, Pat spends many hours on the board of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, responding to emails and taking calls from others affected by cancer. He is a master motivator, change agent, and champion at heart; this is his rallying cry to inspire, educate, and lead others on to victory.

If any one lives by those words, it would be Pat Williams. This beautiful, heartfelt and emotional book is more than a book about cancer, it is about BEATING cancer as the author states. He shares his personal journey so that others can see how he too is fighting a battle--the six resources he explains will help anyone understand and cope with cancer; patient, family member, co-worker and friends. Great quote in the book, "Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier". Pat as he shows had his ups and downs, but his realistic hopeful approach to handling he has cancer, and changing the look of "why Me?" to WHY NOT ME!" helped him understand and grasp that cancer will effect 44.8% of men and that one out of two men will be hit with cancer. Pat then got up and followed the Doctors orders(for the most part) and today he has his cancer in remission. He is not 100%, but he feels like 80% and some days 90% and more because he chooses to not give up on his battle with cancer. Pat like all who are faced with cancer have goals; being around for children, grandchildren etc.... But, through this book we are given excellent advice on how we can increase our odds at beating cancer and moving it to remission and eventually wiping out cancer altogether.
"If you want to know how to wage a cancer battle, see how Pat does it. Then fight the way he does. Compete hard. Don't give up. Don't quit."-- Kathy Giusti, founder of Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
What a excellent book, by a superb author--I thank him for sharing his story and for expressing his fight hard attitude, for cancer has hit my family many times--it is a hard road for the patient and for the family--but with a zest for life attitude, sitting around and waiting is not an option--getting on with a meaningful life is the best attitude, and this book will show you how.
"Cancer does not own me. Cancer hasn't defeated me."--Pat Williams

Pat Williams seems like a great guy, and certainly has taken on a tough challenge with his Multiple Myeloma. I say this from experience: My 71 year-old father has got it too, and I have personally taken on the role of "care taker." I took a lot of notes on Williams's book, it will be helpful to me. My dad read it too, and says it inspired him.
The book is inspirational in that it describes how it feels to have this condition. It describes the mental outlook the patient should assume in order to best meet the challenge they are facing. For those reasons alone the book is worthy of purchase. I would say if you are an ardent, church-every-Sunday Christian, the book may be the most helpful written non-medical resource on this particular topic available. Since neither my dad nor I am particularly big fans of the Jesus-loves-you-Jesus-loves-you approach to things we tended to cringe a bit when Williams really got into that. But never mind: The book was worth the money and I will be reading parts of it again and again as the situation I am dealing with matures. 'Good stuff.
