In vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer—from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.

During that time, the lack of knowledge about the sweet little girl's actual condition did not serve as consolation to her frightened mother, on hearing that the doctors had abandoned all hopes and declared the illness as terminal. From that moment she had only 5 months to live. This motivated the desperate mother to embrace a new approach which was completely unknown to her. She wanted little Katerina to live, and was determined to save her daughter's life before time ran out. This heartbreaking story brings forth many adventures, joys, and melancholies, including varied sentiments that encouraged this family to traverse unexpected paths discovering new and vexed directions. Along their side you will experience the joy and sadness, discovering the new and unknown in search of a single thing: the possibility of survival!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wrapped-N-Pink Book summary Wrapped-N-Pink is a story about a woman's journey of fighting breast cancer through fear, faith, trust, courage, belief and realizing the purpose of her encounter with a disease that does not discriminate and brings forth much debate. The Author Anita Jeter-Peterkin wife, mother of five and nana of 8, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the very young age of twenty three with a poor prognosis and diagnosed again at the age of forty six by early detection. Although, at the beginning of her journey things seemed uncertain and doubtful, Anita leaned to God and found the faith and trust she needed to live her life to the fullest. Anita decided to write about her story in a unique and inspiring way. She wanted it to be simplistic and done through rhyme and reason. Deciding to write about her life in such a form would appear to be a big challenge. Rhyming a story from beginning to end would seem to be more than she could handle. But she felt a passion to attempt the mission. After years of trying to connect pen to paper with poetry of her experience with breast cancer, she called her Aunt Lois (Pastor of St John's Church in CT) and explained to her that there was a burning sensation in her heart to write her story in that form. But at the time so many changes were going on in her life and she could not focus on her writings. She felt that if she could have just one night of solitude that her passion would begin to blossom. Her Aunt helped her find a secluded place for one night that would ignite the materials for her book "Wrapped-N-Pink". After, her aunt and cousin prayed with her, they left her there to begin her journey to writing a book that tells the story of her experiences of being a breast cancer survivor. The story begins with her diagnosis at a young age through the many health decisions she had to make along the way. She opened her life to share with others some of her emotions whether they were good, bad, happy or sad. She hopes that her writings will be a blessing to others as she continues to give her testimony of God and the miracles that He has performed in her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actress and photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a Jivamukti yoga class didn't provide its usual kick-ass cure. A visit to her doctor confirmed her “liver looked like Swiss cheese,” covered with cancerous tumors. She entered trench warfare (wearing cowboy boots into the MRI machine, no less), vowing, “Cancer needed a makeover and I was just the gal to do it!” She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative “quacks,” blind dates, and other women with cancer—sadly a growing group. These include hip, young women such as illustrator-author Marisa Acocella Marchetto (Cancer Vixen), Glamour writer-editor Erin Zammett (My So-Called Normal Life), MTV personality Diem Brown (Real World/Road Rules Challenge), model Sharon Blynn (founder, Bald Is Beautiful), and music manager Jackie Farry, among others. The Learning Channel broadcast the premiere of Carr's unforgettable documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer on August 29, 2007. CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS gathers the lessons learned and advice offered from Carr's own journey, as well as the experiences of her cancer posse.

The resulting book is a warm, yet informative tool for any woman newly diagnosed with the disease and for those who love them.

Download or read book Dear Cancer, written by Laura Parisi King and published by . This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you guess what happens in a small town in 1846 when a Black schoolboy Josh befriends a poor Irish immigrant, Seamus? It is not surprising when the locals don't approve. It was in fact a time of growing prejudice and led to the Separate Schools Act of 1850. Josh, who is a dedicated student, suffers bullying by the others who don't want him at their inter-racial school. The school boys even gang up on Seamus when he sticks up for Josh. But throughout the experiences the two boys become strong friends; they discover a common love of music and, towards the end of the story, they have quite a journey together. The author seeks to bring you a slice of life in Upper Canada, relating it to real facts about the town as it becomes an important small port and a refuge for those fleeing from slavery or from starvation in Ireland.

This book was released on 2013-05-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What breast cancer takes away and what other young women who've been there can give you-that's what the stories here are about: keeping your humor and sass through some pretty grim moments. This book is a source to reach for when you need that voice of someone who shares your scars and your scares. It broaches topics that are not the usual fare of cancer self-help literature: What is it like to tell someone you're dating that cancer has put you in menopause? To explain to your inquiring preschooler why you no longer need a bra? To attend a high-school reunion post-chemo and acknowledge your changed appearance? These subjects and others show how breast cancer changes our bodies and our sense of ourselves in the world, but also how it makes us acutely aware of what we love, what we cling to, how we want to spend our precious moments on this earth.

Download or read book Cancer, I'll Give You One Year written by Jennifer Spiegel and published by Resource Publications (CA). This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer, I'll Give You One Year: A Non-Informative Guide To Breast Cancer, A Writer's Memoir In Almost Real Time is not about eating kale. The book is 100 percent narrative nonfiction and 0 percent self-help. It was actually written for the author's children in case she died. This sounds morbid, but maybe ""pointed"" and ""candid"" are better words. Embracing candor as an aesthetic, this real-time story hits upon the sacred, the profane, a trip to Epcot, a colonoscopy, her kids' responses to everything, and O. J. Simpson's parole hearing. Writing-centric, voice-driven, and conscious of a death sentence--no diets or exercises are offered, but the author may give horrible parenting advice. It's undoubtedly funny, but also a meditation on meaning.
