When Cancer Comes Your Way

Do you know someone who has cancer?Unfortunately, as this book points out, that answer would be "yes" for just about all of us.This is an instant classic of "the journey" told from two very different perspectives.From the initial diagnosis of cancer, through the challenges of chemotherapy, to the final unexpected outcome, the co-authors relive their shared journey with insight, courage, and bittersweet humor.Their book presents a unique, invaluable look at what awaits the cancer patient and caregiver--from spiritual, physical, and emotional struggles to methods of coping and maintaining "the course."Included in the book are: a quick reference chapter on "survival tips," an appendix of useful websites, and "neutropenia" diet and precautions.But what makes this book appealing--and even entertaining--are the candid journal entries from the caregiver and the remembrances of the patient, the latter told with wry humor and vulnerability.
