In this thought-provoking memoir, an award-winning journalist explores the chaos, doubt, and search for meaning that come with staying one step ahead of cancer for decades.

An Exercise in Uncertainty has a powerful and restorative story to tell us. Jonathan Gluck’s life of illness and survival is a vital primer for us all—a lesson in how to face and comprehend two of the basic facts that render us human: We die, but much more important, we live.”—Richard Ford

“Navigates the dire straits of mortality with eloquence, wit, and intelligence.”—Susan Orlean

At age thirty-eight, Jonathan Gluck, a new father with a promising journalism career, was shocked to learn he had multiple myeloma, a rare, incurable blood cancer. He was told he had eighteen months to live.

That was more than twenty years ago.

Gluck isn’t just something of a medical miracle. He’s also part of a growing population. Thanks to revolutionary medical advances, many cancers and other serious illnesses are no longer death sentences but chronic diseases people can often live with for years. While doctors continue to look for “magic bullet” cures, they can now extend patients’ lives by slowing the progression of their diseases one treatment at a time. The result is a strange, new no-man’s-land between being sick and being well where Gluck and millions of others reside.

In An Exercise in Uncertainty, Gluck maps this previously uncharted territory. Among the many vexing side effects of chronic illness he explores is uncertainty—never knowing from one day to the next how one’s illness might change them physically, emotionally, spiritually. When you have an incurable disease, how do you cope with knowing that even when you’re in remission, it will eventually return? How do you live with the anxiety, the fear, the near-constant awareness of your mortality? For Gluck, one surprising answer is fly-fishing. If you’re looking for peace in your own sea of uncertainty, it might be something else.

As Gluck will be the first to say, cancer has absolutely nothing good to offer, but almost dying has taught him valuable lessons about how to live.

The Best!
Color: Croissant
Out of all the stuffable, freezable dog treat toys I’ve tried over many years with several dogs, this one is #1! So easy to clean and freezing the little goodie cup that you insert in to the toy is so much easier than trying to stuff a small hole! The extra little grooves on the outside I fill with no sugar no salt peanut butter and my pup loves it! This is a heavier toy, so not sure how a small dog would do picking it up or carrying it around, but our 45 lb guy has no problem! Seems like it is very durable and just might last forever!

Bump on tongue
Color: Croissant, Color: Croissant
It’s a good idea but should be made with hard rubber and the back should not be able to come off. It gives off shards of plastic and gave my dog bumps on his tongue. I do love the idea and it keep my dog busy in the morning while I had my first cup of coffee and before everyone woke up.
