"Before cancer or a life-threatening illness, we kind of tap dance through life...When we get cancer, the dance changes." --Carolyn, cancer patient quoted in Cancer TalkOne of the first things I remember my parents doing when my mom was diagnosed was research. They hit the Internet, friends, colleagues, coworkers, doctors, books, magazines--anything they could get their hands on to learn more about the journey ahead. I found this book Cancer Talk and peeked in it a bit to see if it was worth recommending here.
While researching the technical aspect of cancer, including treatment options, surgical procedures, recovery, pain medicines, and more, I think finding information for your emotional health is just as important. This book, Cancer Talk, appears to offer a wide range of topics, anecdotes and quotes from people who have experienced cancer, as well as valid information to support research in the medical side. The bi line on the book is Voices of Hope and Endurance from "The Group Room," the World's Largest Cancer Support Group, which says it all...and more. :)
If you have read this book please feel welcome to share your thoughts and impressions with me. Or, if you have other suggestions for positive reading regarding the cancer journey, please share your comments.
As always, thoughts and prayers are with you...
