Lost Things: Fighting and Loving and the Death of an Ideal by Levi Wilkins

In LOST THINGS, Levi Wilkins chronicles his journey fighting Stage 4 cancer.

When Levi found out he had it, one of his pastors gave him a book, Cancer is Funny. That inspired Levi to keep track of his thoughts and feelings through chemo.

Most of what you read will be incredibly positive and real. There are dark times when Levi wonders if he’ll make it (he did), and you’ll laugh when he describes some of his #cancerwins.

This book comes out posthumously. Levi died in a mountain climbing accident in the Witchita Mountains on September 22, 2023, so keep that in mind as you make your way through his thoughts.

LOST THINGS is dedicated to Levi’s wife, Emily, and their three children, Nora, Wyatt, and Owen.
