Book Synopsis Love Trust Gratitude Healing by : Michael McDaeth
Download or read book Love Trust Gratitude Healing written by Michael McDaeth and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You are going to fight this?" "You're a warrior you can beat it." "It's going to be a battle but you'll come out the victor." I don't how many times someone has tried to encourage me with some version of the above statements. On the surface it sounds heroic to cast us as warriors, but describing our struggle with cancer as a fight, a battle, a war, doesn't give much insight into the experience and leaves only two possible outcomes: victory or defeat. What does this reveal of our encounter with cancer? Over the course of our illness we may reach levels of love and redemption we never experienced before. Can we love with all our might through this? Embrace the feeling that we have never wanted to live more. Marvel at how strong we are, surprisingly strong, incredible strong! Love is the only unlimited resource in the universe and it not war is the source of our healing.On an early spring morning Michael got out of bed and to his shock and dismay tumbled to the floor. He lost the ability to walk overnight. A few days later he found out the cause was a cancerous tumor compressing his spinal cord. Suddenly he faced the daunting tasks of dealing with his mortality, hoping to live on despite having an incurable cancer, and learning to walk again.Love Trust Gratitude Healing: Turning a Battle into a Dance and making Peace with Cancer chronicles Michael's journey through the ups and downs of his cancer treatments and how changing the metaphor for cancer from War to Dance changed the experience itself. He shares the surprising revelations, insights, experiences and gifts he received along the way and how they were instrumental in helping him heal spiritually and emotionally even when he was struggling to heal physically. This book is for those who are going through a major confrontation like cancer (this could include the covid-19 pandemic) how they can use the insights and simple exercises developed here in dealing with their own crisis giving them a better chance of healing physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noelle Rose Andressen shares an intimate journey how she put her life back together after conquering breast cancer in the most unpredictable way one could have fathomed. The weakest thing about her at the time, her body, became a vessel of love to share messages of HOPE and story-telling through her dynamic dancing. The physical obstacles were great including the protective walls around her heart from past hurts and "soul woundings." She overcame and learned to love again by reaching out to a beautiful stranger with her gift. She not only healed her body but learned to love again by loving another; which may be the greater success than the former. This is Volume One in the Dance Warrior Book Series: Cancer to Dancer. It is primarily based on her true life accounts overcoming extreme adversity and was not only was victorious, but she went on to dance again and do many other amazing things. There are lovely spiritual themes of joy and turning tragedy into triumph to inspire you to help you find encouragement and your purpose in this life beyond the suffering. "We've all been touched by some form of tragedy. You can rebuild and be inspired by my steps. I dance and share my scars so that you will know that you too can heal. Do not despair for all is not lost. Whatever it is you're facing, you too can overcome. My goal is to give HOPE to those who may find themselves in a similar situation and place of destitution where they ask themselves, "Okay, now what?!" or for those who have shards of their lives laying on the ground before them in a huge jumbled mess. Many today find themselves in the predicament of not knowing if they can regain all that was lost. Let my testimony encourage everyone: all that was lost can be regained. All can be reclaimed once again. Let me also add this: it may not be in the way you expected. I can attest that it will most likely be in the most unlikely way you could ever have imagined. I encourage you to take that grand journey and join me as I relive mine with you in these pages. Turn your tragedy into a triumph.

Book Synopsis 8 Steps to Getting Real with Cancer by : Marianne C. McDonough
Download or read book 8 Steps to Getting Real with Cancer written by Marianne C. McDonough and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 8 Steps to Getting Real with Cancer is a practical step-by-step guide for newly-diagnosed cancer patients and those who love them. Empowerment is the key theme throughout this book as Marianne McDonough, a breast cancer survivor, addresses the critical first weeks following diagnosis when patients suddenly face wrenching decisions, intense stress, and their own mortality. The book is divided into 8 Steps that coincide with the hard questions patients ask themselves, such as: * What do I know about cancer and believe to be true about myself as a cancer patient? * How shall I interact with others, especially my family, friends, and medical providers? * How can I select the best treatment protocol? * How do I feel about possibly dying? * Where is God in all of this? * What am I afraid of? * How do I deal with the stress? * Do I dare hope for a future? Using specific examples from her own cancer journey, McDonough employs an easy-to-read, three-fold format: myths versus truths statements, "how to" applications, and survivors attitudes. Additionally, she debunks "easy platitudes" that impose unfair expectations and standards on patients suddenly struggling with life and death matters. With palpable compassion, the author writes in a transparent, conversational style. Newly-diagnosed patients, she says, have enough stress while making monumental decisions, so she invites them to rest their souls, find strength in their own beliefs, and prepare well not only for effective treatment but also for fully vibrant survivorship. The primary audience for this book is cancer patients, especially newly diagnosed, and support people who love and care for them. Other readers include medical, counseling, and ministerial professionals. This book is an excellent resource and addition to hospital gift shops, oncology and ob/gyn departments, and church book stores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I think you have a breast cancer." Words that every woman dreads. Words that more and more women are hearing. Words that might mark the beginning of a nightmare. Or maybe a Remarkable Journey. Sue's diagnosis wasn't faced alone as her partner Cindy rallied the troops through her Remarkable Journey emails to friends and family. Now collected together with journal entries and other observations, Cindy shares their adventures with a breast that won't stay gone, something behind the stomach that turns into colon cancer, and chemo that can't get started. Determined to engulf the cancer with love, light, and laughter, Sue and Cindy learn the Cancer Dance and ride a wave of love and gratitude through a year that finds them celebrating the wonder of the everyday. With chapters like That ugly ass carcinoma doesn't stand a chance, Happy are the women dancing in the mud in a flood, and She's not much of a farter on a good day you might rightly suspect this is not a tale of doom and gloom, but rather a story of the gift of grace that turns a year of surgeries and hospitals and doctor appointments into a time of gratitude and celebration. Follow the self-proclaimed burly broads as they vow to do whatever it takes not to lose a single day to worrying about what can't be helped or dreading what might not happen. Instead they dig deep into the glory that every day offers and tap into the wellspring of love that Sue's predicament unearths. This is a book about the cancer experience that offers smiles and laughter, as well as tears. It's a book about wellness, as well as illness. It's a book about love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other writer can blend the science of the brain with the love of language like Diane Ackerman. In this extraordinary memoir, she opens a window into the experience of wordlessness--the language paralysis called aphasia. In narrating the recovery of her husband, Paul West, from a stroke that reduced his vast vocabulary to a single syllable, she evokes the joy and mystery of the brain's ability to find and connect words. Deeply rewarding to readers of all kinds, Ackerman has given us a literary love story, accessible insight into the science and medicine of brain injury, and invaluable spiritual sustenance in the face of life's myriad physical sufferings.

Book Synopsis Dancing with Breast Cancer by : Janay Cosner
Download or read book Dancing with Breast Cancer written by Janay Cosner and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One out of eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer. What many breast cancer patients don't open up about, read about, or discuss are the fearful moments, the angry moments, and the sometimes funny moments that women experience, beginning with that first scary doctor's appointment. Freezing-cold mammograms that flatten breasts like two fried eggs. Crushing loneliness. Nightmares about confronting mortality. But in Dancing with Breast Cancer, Janay Cosner gets real about her journey with the disease. Through a series of poems, Cosner opens up and shares her experience. Each poem is a snapshot of her odyssey. What does it mean to be a survivor, these poems ask. What does it mean to be a warrior? From diagnosis and surgery to chemotherapy and radiation to what is now her new normal, Cosner asks all her readers-patients, family members, friends, doctors, nurses-to join her in a raw and very real dance with cancer. My head high, I shout, I'm alive. My shoes start to dance again to the rhythm of life. Come dance with me. Praise for Dancing with Breast Cancer Every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer will relate to the emotions, the drudgery, and the multiple steps they take while "dancing" with cancer. As a medical oncologist, I have treated many women with breast cancer. However, I never knew how they really felt till I read Janay's poems. They speak to me of the patients' pain, loss, fear, and daily struggles as well the hope of a future when they will be able to dance again with their partners and not with cancer. Ms. Cosner bares her soul so that we (the healthcare providers) can be better prepared to care for the "person" and not just the "cancer." --Khalid Rehman, MD, FACP, medical oncologist and assistant professor of medicine at The New York Medical College What's most impressive about Janay Cosner's Dancing with Breast Cancer is her gutsy willingness to relive her ordeal from the first suspicious mammogram, through the traumas of treatment, to a wary recovery. Cosner has chosen poetry as the medium for her memoir, a choice that allows her to move swiftly yet with detail through the shifting phases of her illness, and all the accompanying emotions from horror and terror to humor and hope. Cosner is no sit-back survivor. She's a savvy, sexy lady doing a defiant dance--a dance many women will recognize--a dance that will be eye-opening for everyone else. --Joan Murray, author of Swimming for the Ark Can there be beauty in pain? Only if it is poetry, and only when the poet touches your aching heart. Janay, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer, yearns to be treated like a person. She exposes her fears, frustration, and fighting spirit as she dances with fate. With a poem for each stage of her journey, she dances to a new tune, culminating in a symphony of shock, agony, anger, resolve, and regrets. Her poems are a window into a woman's heart, her suffering, and her remarkable poise under duress. This book is for women with breast cancer, for Janay knows just how they feel; it is for all women, with or without cancer, for she reveals what it is like to suffer; and it is a book for caregivers, for it shows the pathway to treating a patient as a person and not just a case study. This is a book of hope. --Sabeeha Rehman, author of Threading My Prayer Rug: One Woman's Journey from Pakistani Muslim to American Muslim

Book Synopsis In His Grip ... a Walk Through Breast Cancer by : Amy K. Hauser
Download or read book In His Grip ... a Walk Through Breast Cancer written by Amy K. Hauser and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amy’s story is a most inspiring one to read for anyone going through life’s struggles - one that will give encouragement whatever one may be dealing with. First and foremost, this is an account of a “cancer journey;” a journal revealing an absolute faith that God is willing to walk the journey alongside of you, all the way! If you are reading this and you are someone setting out on, or already in the middle of, a similar journey, this is an important read for you! Amy’s story will certainly not hide any of the rough × but it will tell you about many positive aspects as well, and how faith is the only way to make the trip. This book is not just for cancer sufferers, but also for anyone experiencing life’s many trials, whatever they may be. Amy’s raw and emotive style tells it just like it is. You will feel the emotion; shed some tears and certainly draw many smiles. There is little more powerful than hearing this story told literally, while experiencing each and every aspect of the journey along with her. The power is in hearing God’s story, as told through Amy, and that’s just what this is. You will be encouraged that it’s okay to have roller coaster emotions, to feel anger, to experience joy, to feel spiritually low and equally high; that it’s okay to ask “why me?” Amy is one amazing lady who turned what could have been a very negative experience - focusing on feeling sorry for herself - to one that focuses on making an impact on others. For example - Amy refused to wear a wig once she lost her hair so she would not miss opportunities to testify to others who would otherwise not have approached her. Perhaps most compelling is how many people have told Amy that while they should have been supporting her in keeping a positive attitude, she was in fact being the inspiration for them. I know! I was one of those people! I pray for them every day and I know that they do the same for me. It is this, together with God, that will keep us all positive and moving forward, whatever the challenges of life that are thrown our way.
Download or read book The Undying written by Anne Boyer and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2020 PULITZER PRIZE IN GENERAL NONFICTION "The Undying is a startling, urgent intervention in our discourses about sickness and health, art and science, language and literature, and mortality and death. In dissecting what she terms 'the ideological regime of cancer,' Anne Boyer has produced a profound and unforgettable document on the experience of life itself." —Sally Rooney, author of Normal People "Anne Boyer’s radically unsentimental account of cancer and the 'carcinogenosphere' obliterates cliche. By demonstrating how her utterly specific experience is also irreducibly social, she opens up new spaces for thinking and feeling together. The Undying is an outraged, beautiful, and brilliant work of embodied critique." —Ben Lerner, author of The Topeka School A week after her forty-first birthday, the acclaimed poet Anne Boyer was diagnosed with highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. For a single mother living paycheck to paycheck who had always been the caregiver rather than the one needing care, the catastrophic illness was both a crisis and an initiation into new ideas about mortality and the gendered politics of illness. A twenty-first-century Illness as Metaphor, as well as a harrowing memoir of survival, The Undying explores the experience of illness as mediated by digital screens, weaving in ancient Roman dream diarists, cancer hoaxers and fetishists, cancer vloggers, corporate lies, John Donne, pro-pain ”dolorists,” the ecological costs of chemotherapy, and the many little murders of capitalism. It excoriates the pharmaceutical industry and the bland hypocrisies of ”pink ribbon culture” while also diving into the long literary line of women writing about their own illnesses and ongoing deaths: Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker, Susan Sontag, and others. A genre-bending memoir in the tradition of The Argonauts, The Undying will break your heart, make you angry enough to spit, and show you contemporary America as a thing both desperately ill and occasionally, perversely glorious. Includes black-and-white illustrations
