Racing Cancer: Living Life Full Throttle Paperback – October 21, 2025

Racing Cancer: Living Life Full Throttleby Bob AldermanThis isn’t a book about dying. It’s a book about living hard, fast, and full of purpose, even when the odds say you shouldn’t be here.I was 49 when I got the call no one wants. Prostate cancer. They took the prostate, and for a long time, we thought we had it handled. The numbers kept spiking for fourteen years. There was radiation, and meds, and more radiation. Then it spread, and everything changed. It became stage four. Terminal. No one knew a timeline. No one could say how long.I went through it all. Surgery. Chemo. Radiation. Hormone therapy. Radiation drip. Immunotherapy. Nerve blocks. Eighteen straight months of treatment that broke me down and built me back up in ways I never expected. I came out of it leaner, quieter, and tougher. I learned that attitude isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.But this isn’t a story about hospitals. It’s about racetracks. About the dirt, the noise, and the feeling of being alive when you drop the hammer. It’s about the day I climbed back into a sprint car after eight years away, bones full of cancer, and won my first main event back. It’s about the people who stood beside me when most would have walked away. The ones who didn’t see a patient. They saw a racer.Racing Cancer is a story of grit, grace, and second chances. It’s about family. About a wife who never stopped believing. About kids who learned that strength isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s quiet. It’s in how you show up when no one’s watching.It’s about my team, the crew who kept me safe when my body couldn’t. The doctors who treated me like a man, not a diagnosis. The friends who reminded me who I was before all this.And it’s about something deeper. The idea that passion heals. That purpose matters. That you can’t fight forever. At some point you have to start living again.Every chapter pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to chase life when time isn’t guaranteed. From the long nights in pain to the silence of recovery. From the track lights at Ventura Raceway to the quiet mornings when I wondered if I could still do it. It’s all here. The fear. The faith. The failures. The wins.I didn’t write this for sympathy. I wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt like their story was over.It’s not.You just have to find your track again.If you’ve ever been told you can’t, this is for you. If you’ve ever felt like the world forgot who you are, this is for you. If you’re tired of hearing about surviving and ready to start living, this is your book.Racing Cancer: Living Life Full Throttle isn’t about beating the disease. It’s about outliving it. Outworking it. Out-loving it.It’s about believing in yourself.And proving that passion, real passion, never dies.E-Book and Audio Book versions coming soon!!!!!! Read more
