Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Me and My Shadow – Memoirs of a Cancer Survivor is a brutally honest account of one teenager’s struggle to understand and deal with the most feared diagnosis known to society: cancer. At 18 years of age, John Walker Pattison was thrust onto a roller coaster ride of emotional turbulence – his innocence cruelly stripped from him; his fate woven into the tapestry of life. After years of failed chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments that ravaged his physical frame and almost destroyed his psychological stability – his parents were told that he would not survive. Yet, today, he is one of the longest surviving cancer patients in the UK. Eight years after his unexpected recovery, the news that all parents fear, his daughter is diagnosed with terminal leukaemia. Yet like her father, she too would defy the odds and go on to become an international swimmer. Pattison turned his life full circle and became a cancer nurse specialist at the same hospital that made his diagnosis decades earlier. He prescribes chemotherapy and cares for individuals with the same cancers experienced by both him and his daughter. Throughout his journey, Pattison’s inspirations were the space rock legends, Hawkwind. He would get to play on stage with his heroes at the Donnington Festival in 2007. More significantly, he found solace throughout his cancer journey in the history and spirituality of the Lakota Sioux Nation. In 2018, he would spend time on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with the indigenous people of South Dakota. The same people who, unknowingly, supported him through life's greatest challenge: cancer.

What should I expect after treatment? What will my “new normal” be like? Her own story answers those questions and so much more. Written with humor and humility, Karla’s story is woven with themes of love, trust, and spiritual faith—and the importance of becoming a force in breast cancer advocacy. It offers valuable information and resources for breast health, and provides support, inspiration, and hope for those facing breast cancer. From her adventures in Paris to her roller-coaster relationship with her ex-husband, Karla’s memoir is more than radiation and chemotherapy. In Dig in Your Heels, she urges women to educate themselves and draw upon their inner strength—the best is yet to come!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The journals are those of a girl I once knew – who had cancer and wrote about her experiences. She wanted to share her story, in a way that would have helped her: in a book about having cancer as a teen – written by a teen who experienced it. She wasn’t lost in battle, but she’s been gone a long time; and I haven’t been able to forget her, or let her go. The story seems unfamiliar, and yet I know it by heart. It feels like yesterday, but seems like a lifetime ago. It’s the story I never wrote – because it was already written; and at the heart of it is my journey with cancer: a muse, a curse, and a blessing. I’ve read the book before, but I never closed the first chapter: a book of journals – written by a girl who had cancer.” Cancer is a part of my story, and being a survivor is part of my identity, but it is not my entire identity as I felt it was when I was younger. At the end of my second treatment, I decided I was going to write my story and publish it. I even thought of the perfect title for my book: Two-Timed: An Adolescent Cancer Memoir. I thought of it because I felt two-timed by my own body, whose very defense system had attacked itself, and it had happened to me twice. But I didn’t write the story. The years went by, and I decided I could not very well write an “adolescent memoir” when I was well into my twenties, but I still had my journals – all the journals. Several more years elapsed until now – twenty three years after the journey began – I am finally “writing” the story.

Book excerpt: Its been said that cancer is a disease that steals away the feeling of perfection. Author Jane Loeb Rubin is all too familiar with this feeling. In Almost a Princess, she presents a collection of essays that document her twice-fought battle with cancer. In this memoir, Rubin, a hospital administrator and two-time cancer survivor, shares her experiences from the dual perspectives of a patient and a health care professional. She reflects on her life growing up in a secular Jewish home with a hard-nosed but loving father, marrying her high school sweetheart at nineteen, raising three children as a divorced single parent, working in the health care field, remarrying in her forties, and becoming a grandmotherall with the wise insights gained from struggling with her own health challenges. Almost a Princess discusses the coping strategies Rubin developed for herself, provides insight for other cancer patients and their families, and reflects on what it means to be a survivor. She communicates the importance of embracing what we are given each day, doing the best we can with it, and feeling the joy and fulfillment that comes with our past, present, and ongoing life stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, at the age of 52, I had breast cancer and a left-side mastectomy. That was my eighth major operation, but my first for the treatment of a life-threatening disease. Almost immediately after the operation, I became aware that there were unexpected benefits to be reaped from this experience, benefits which ended up changing my life and many of my attitudes. Eventually I decided to write a book detailing those many benefits and my thoughts on a variety of topics related to health, health care, self-image, and the value of courage and optimism in the face of adversity. Surviving breast cancer left me a happier, calmer, more focused, and more appreciative person. Now my principal message to other women is that breast cancer does not have to be an entirely negative, terror-inducing experience. On the contrary, it can leave them better off than they were before, both physically and emotionally. I know, because it happened to me. My book is primarily the story of that physical and emotional journey. The five appendices offer a wealth of practical information on risk factors for breast cancer, ways to help prevent it, and much more.

Book excerpt: How much does life change when you're confronted with how very fragile it can be?When Amy Luscher Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer, she wondered how she would make time in her busy life after the word "cancer" was whispered. In the aftermath of treatment and personal transformation, Amy shares how she adapted to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, recovery, and, ultimately, her new identity as a cancer survivor. Amy was raised Baptist with a strong faith in God, and her everyday life was a life in which prayer, faith, and trust in God had never failed her. More than a cancer memoir, My Faith Sparkles is Amy's story about her struggle to keep faith when God seemed conspicuously distant. Her faith always sparkles, but there were days when she struggled to cling to the kind of hope that can't be found in this world alone. Amy shares a two-year path of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, including her reflection on: *The diagnosis of HER2-positive breast cancer*Lumpectomy versus mastectomy*Talking to her children about cancer*Overcoming the fear of death*Using breast cancer statistics and research*Managing cancer treatment*Chemotherapy side effects and port placement*Radiation therapy and side effects*Living with cancer and accepting cancer support*Remission*Becoming a cancer survivor. Encouragement in a Dark World In her conversational, revealing, and often humorous style, Amy shares what her diagnosis and treatment were really like; her struggles along the way; and, finally, where she found encouragement through her faith, which made all the difference. A powerful book for: *Newly diagnosed cancer patients*Family members of cancer patients*Cancer care professionals and oncology support providers*Supporters of cancer survivors*Cancer support group leaders*Anyone directing a ministry of encouragement.When cancer happens, knowledge, support and hope are the best medicine. If you're looking for a friend to walk alongside you on this challenging journey, My Faith Sparkles is the book you'll want on your nightstand for those late-night moments of doubt. Join Amy and choose hope in the face of cancer. Let your faith sparkle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivors from all walks of life talk about what “living strong” in the face of cancer means to them. Since the now ubiquitous LIVESTRONG™ wristbands became available in May 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than $50 million for cancer survivorship programs, and the signature phrase has become a battle cry for those who fight the disease every day. Now, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has compiled, from hours of videotaped interviews, poignant and dramatic personal accounts from cancer survivors. Covering a wide range of subjects, from grief to spousal relationships, employment discrimination to coping with medical bills, infertility to fear of recurrence, survivors share their experiences and speak candidly about how cancer has impacted their lives. For twenty-four-year-old Amy it’s how her illness changed her relationship with her parents. Mike, a male survivor of breast cancer, talks about gender stereotypes and genetic testing. And Eric, the father of a five-year-old survivor of a brain tumor, recalls how friends and strangers helped his family with financial issues and how the experience brought him and his wife closer together. While heartbreaking at times, these powerfully honest stories are ultimately uplifting and extremely reassuring to patients and their families. They offer the wisdom and hope that only survivors can give. LiveStrong is a remarkable testament to the resilience of the human spirit. From the introduction by Lance Armstrong: My work with the LAF shows me daily that sharing our stories and learning from one another’s experiences helps us cancer survivors continue to survive. Some people think the cancer experience is only about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as if after the disease goes into remission, it no longer exists. But survivorship goes beyond remission. Survivorship is an evolution.

Book excerpt: There are many books about cancer - but Survivor is a unique reflection of the life of a young woman and her multiple 'fights' against the disease, involving numerous operations on her brain, chest, abdomen and pelvis, radiation therapy as well as systemic treatments. She was one of the first patients in the world to receive, at that time, an unlicensed immunotherapy treatment, which despite the side-effects she suffered, has kept her cancer-free for nearly a decade. Shirley McEntee describes her life's journey from birth and the effects the metastatic malignant melanoma has had not only on her but on her family and friends. This book gives an honest and open insight into her life, her suffering, the effects of treatment, but most of all, her will to live. It was and continues to be a privilege to have been involved, along with all my colleagues, in helping Shirley become a 'Survivor'.Professor Rajnish Gupta, Professor in Medical Oncology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the National Cancer Institute, there are an estimated 13.7 million living Americans who are cancer survivors. The institute expects that number to rise to almost 18 million over the next decade. The Institute of Medicine notes that patients diagnosed with cancer have an estimated 64% chance of surviving five years, up from 50% three decades ago. And most of them have lingering symptoms, both physical and emotional. The Cancer Survivor is a companion and guide for those millions of individuals who are finally done with treatments but are still on the journey to wholeness. Beth Leibson completed her chemotherapy and radiation in 2007. She had beat cancer, but was left with lingering memory issues, exhaustion, depression, pain, and the fear that at any point, the cancer could return. Here she tells the story of how she rebuilt her life, and shares advice from other experts, addressing the emotional, medical, and professional challenges of life after cancer. Here are the questions you’re afraid to ask (“When will my sex drive come back?”), the questions you hadn’t yet considered (“How do I reenter the work force after a ‘break’ of a year or more?”), and those you know you should be thinking about but haven’t had the energy for (“What supplements or alternative therapies should I be taking to regain my strength?”). Warm, honest, and full of sage advice, this is the book Leibson wishes she had had when the nightmare of cancer treatments drew to a close and the overwhelming reality of starting life over again began.

Book excerpt: At the age of 23, DeeDee Kindley faced the most fearful and challenging experience of her life. She was diagnosed with a tumor, the size of a large grapefruit, wrapped around her heart. Encountering many trials and tribulations, DeeDee found purpose and meaning in her diagnosis. With a core desire to live, she summoned courage and strength from within her to confront emotionally and physically difficult circumstances while maintaining an unwavering belief in her ability to live. Heart Knots ~ The Story of a True Survivor details her experience of being diagnosed with cancer, how she fought for recovery, relationships she developed along the way and how she survived. It is based on a journal she kept during her nine day stay in the hospital and throughout her experience and was written with the hope of letting cancer patients know they are not alone and there are actions they can take to fight for their recovery. It includes three sections. Part one details her story and, through a passionate desire to live life, is a testimony to the human spirit. Part two demystifies the disease and includes what DeeDee believes her "secrets" of survival to be, cancer facts and fiction including how therapeutic support groups affect survival, and describes the role of an active patient. The final section serves as a reference guide filled with important resources for cancer patients and their families or caregivers.
