What Helped Me Get Through Cancer Survivors Share Wisdom and Hope
Author: Julie K. Silver

Helping Hands, Helping Hearts. ?You're one in a million." For millions of cancer survivors, this is a. singular declaration of appreciation-often borne of personal stories. shared. with others who are going through cancer. Here in one volume are. hundreds. of invaluable suggestions, words of support, encouragement, and hope,. gener... more »ously shared by survivors, medical experts, and celebrities from. around the world. These are the things the docs don't have time to tell. us.. Pass it on.. . . . . "So much wisdom, strength, and courage can be gained from listening to others . who have been there. This book provides much-needed inspiration for people with . cancer, or any illness for that matter, and all those who love and care for them." . . Ann H. Partridge, MD, MPH . Director, Program for Young Women with Breast Cancer, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute . Assistant Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. . . ?When one is truly inspired and wants to be a survivor, information derived from the experience of others is vital. The natives know how to help one another because of their experience. Read and learn from the wisdom of others and save yourself from having to learn the hard way.?. . Bernie Siegel, MD author Love, Medicine And Miracles and Help Me To Heal. . ?I am always amazed by the incredible resilience of many people who are diagnosed with cancer. It is truly a privilege to share their journey and provide guidance when I can. There are other times when I am discouraged by the unfairness of the disease, and especially the side effects of our treatments. These often wreak havoc with life plans-the absence of children, the inability to work and achieve other life goals-and the specter of recurrent cancer. We are working hard to prevent cancer and to reduce the burden and toxicity of treatments so that survivors in the future may have an easier time.?. Patricia A. Ganz, MD. Professor, UCLA Schools of Medicine and Public Health. Division of Cancer Prevention and Control Research. Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. 650 Charles Young Dr. South, Room A2-125 CHS. Los Angeles, CA 90095-6900. . My husband put it best: "A cancer diagnosis is like getting dropped off in a foreign country where you don't know the language." This book gives patients a guidebook to help them navigate the difficult world of cancer treatment written by those who have already made the journey. Treatment is tough, but it's so much more manageable when you know what to expect. I credit so many survivors with giving me the information I needed to get through treatment. This book puts all the stuff you need to know in one place. It's a must-have for anyone looking to make their cancer journey easier. . Kelley Tuthill . Reporter . WCVB-TV Boston . Breast Cancer Survivor .
