Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cancer diagnosis has more than physical effects; it can cause a torrent of unexpected, unfamiliar emotions felt by both the patient and those who care for them. The Cancer Companion is a compassionate, down-to-earth guide for those navigating these difficult and complex emotions. It takes psychological interventions shown to be appropriate and helpful in the management of cancer-related distress and provides an effective framework for patients and their loved ones to be able to apply these interventions in their own lives. The book is written in short, concise chapters, organised in four sections: - diagnosis and treatment - ending treatment - managing advanced disease - strategies to manage the specific psychological components which may occur (including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and management of relationships). With over a decade of experience working with cancer patients and their families, author Toni Lindsay understands that accessible, constructive emotional guidance is vital. This simple structure, combined with the book’s comprehensive approach, aims to help people find a companionate commentary on their situation, and to engage with the outlined strategies. The Cancer Companion is a comforting, constructive, and jargon-free guide which will have a lasting and meaningful impact on the mental wellbeing of anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer. It’s the diagnosis no one wants to hear. Unfortunately though, these days most of us have known or will know someone who receives it. But what’s next? With the diagnosis comes not only fear and uncertainty, but numerous questions, and a lot of unsolicited advice. With A Cancer Companion, esteemed oncologist Ranjana Srivastava is here to help, bringing both experience and honesty to guide cancer patients and their families through this labyrinth of questions and treatments. With candor and compassion, Srivastava provides an approachable and authoritative reference. She begins with the big questions, like what cancer actually is, and she moves on to offer very practical advice on how to find an oncologist, what to expect during and after treatments, and how to manage pain, diet, and exercise. She discusses in detail the different therapies for cancers and why some cancers are inoperable, and she skillfully addresses the emotional toll of the disease. She speaks clearly and directly to cancer patients, caretakers, and their loved ones, offering straightforward information and insight, something that many oncologists can’t always convey in the office.

Book excerpt: Cervical cancer will always be scary. But it doesn't have to be isolating. When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, it was like a bomb went off right in front of me. I couldn't see, I couldn't hear, I couldn't think. I was devastated. Brokenhearted. Terrified. I would frequently stay up all night, feeling around in the dark, looking for hope in the blue light of the internet. But all I found were scholarly articles. Scary ones about women who died from cervical cancer. The invasive and painful treatments I might need. Survival and recurrence rates. Isolation. Fear and anxiety. Cold hard facts. Very few real-life stories. What I needed was comfort and guidance. I needed someone who had walked the road I was on and knew the way out to grab my hand, hold it tight, and guide me through. I needed to know I wasn't alone, nor was I the first person to face this pain. I needed someone to make sense of the chaos in my mind; Who knew that there's so much planning and logistics involved in having cancer? Organizing caregivers, scheduling surgery and treatments, making calls to insurance companies and specialists, sorting out the details of taking a leave from your job, all while trying to maintain your mental and emotional health as they fall apart, still reeling from that cancer grenade that blew up in your face just weeks ago. The Cervical Cancer Companion exists to help care for your mental and emotional health and help you process the trauma of cancer as you experience it, with the hope that you can arrive on the other side with a strengthened heart and mind, healthier relationships, and a spirit that is ready to build a new life after cancer. What's Inside Personal journal entries from the author through each stage of her experience with cervical cancer. Journaling prompts and open areas to help you process through your own journey. Mantras to keep your heart and mind centered on peace and well-being. Practical tools like caregiver calendars, medication trackers and shopping lists. The knowledge that you're not alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A professor, mother, and Buddhist practitioner helps readers discover new ways of facing and experiencing life, death, and impermanence. “With my diagnosis of grade IV brain cancer, I no longer observe the truth of impermanence from a critical, analytical distance. I am crashing into it, or it into me.” Facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, Karen Derris—professor, mother, and Buddhist practitioner—turned to books. By reading ancient Buddhist stories with new questions and a new purpose—finding a way to live with her dying body—she discovers new ways to make them immediate and real. For instance, reading with her terminal prognosis, she becomes one of the four omens (the four signs of impermanence and suffering) the young Siddhartha sees in his excursions from the palace. What would it mean for her to be in the crowd, straining to see the prince with her own sick and impermanent body—to be pushed aside and out of sight by the palace minders, just as our society so often tries to brush aside anything uncomfortable, but to nonetheless be seen by the young bodhisattva? Or reading as a mother, maybe she shares something akin to what Queen Maya may have felt, knowing she was dying, giving her newborn son over to her sister’s care? What will it mean for her own children to be motherless? She follows the knotted threads connecting Milarepa’s angry, vengeful mother to Karen’s own mother, who physically abused her throughout a traumatic childhood. By placing herself into these stories, she turns them from distant and static narratives into companions, and from companions into guides. Storied Companions interweaves Karen’s memoir of her life of trauma and illness with stories from Buddhist literary traditions, sharing with the reader how she found ways to live with the reality that she won’t live as long as she wants and needs to. Honest, powerful, and insightful, Storied Companions itself becomes an invaluable companion, guiding the reader to discover new ways of facing and experiencing life, death, and impermanence.
