Download or read book Cancer A Love Story written by Lauren Segal and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir of a four-time cancer survivor LAUREN SEGAL Cancer: A Love Story is the intimately searing memoir of a four-time cancer survivor. The book breathlessly tracks author Lauren Segal’s journey to come to terms with the untold challenges of facing the dreaded disease. Forced to face her needle phobia, the author leads the reader into her crumbling world as she confronts the terrors of treatment—from debilitating chemo to nuking radiation. Death is her uninvited companion. But in the midst of her lonely horror, in a quest for deeper meaning, Lauren discovers the unexpected gift of awareness of unanticipated opportunities that cancer presents—to confront her unmasked humanity—her fears, strengths and weaknesses. “I have come to understand that in the same way that the majestic lotus flower has its roots in murky waters, so too does the emergence of beauty in life sometimes depend on life’s darker events.” Lauren Segal currently works as a museum curator; her most recent project is curating and designing the new Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre. She heads up Trace, a research, design and exhibition company. Inspired by her own journey into self-discovery and healing, Lauren is currently studying part-time to become a psychoanalyst. “What a privilege to read this immensely inspirational and brave story. Lauren’s personality and energy leaps off the page – the mark of a natural and gifted writer.” —David Cohen, campaigns editor and chief feature writer, London Evening Standard
Download or read book Love and Laughter written by Marilyn R. Moody and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love & Laughter is the true story of the original American Online Cancer Survivors Support Group. It was written to show the bonding between many courageous people, who came together weekly, in cyberspace to share their stories while going through their cancer experiences. The title of the book is the essence of the story. You may become teary eyed in places, and for sure you will have many good laughs as these people bring lots of humor to the sessions. The story is told in a two act play, with two scenes each. The period covered is from Halloween of 1994 through New Years Eve of 1995. There are some main characters, and also people who drop in on occasion to participate in the cancer chat meetings. You will probably find at least one person that you cant help falling in love with. If you are a cancer survivor you will probably relate to what these people are experiencing and expressing in the group. When the play was performed in Southern California it received excellent reviews. People who never had cancer, spoke about how much they learned about a cancer diagnosis. Its informative, sad, funny and very, very real. Comments from audience members who had never touched a computer but who said theyd read about chat rooms in the newspapers stated, that it gave them such a vision of what goes on in one that they now could understand what chat rooms are about. One person who lives in the Midwest ordered a copy of the video tape of the play. Shes not a cancer survivor and has never been in a chat room, but she said watching the play made her feel like she was part of the group. When you read the book you will probably wonder how cyberspace could be created on a stage... but just let your imagination go with the story thats what I did when I wrote it. Youll know whats going on, and well Welcome to Cancer Survivors!
Download or read book Lasting Love written by Caroline Wright and published by Rodale Kids. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gorgeous picture-book meditation on loss and family love is a useful tool for children navigating a first experience with death. When a family member or another loved one becomes ill, one of the scariest aspects of their sickness is the way they may change, both physically and in spirit. The feeling of loss can come so early as the person becomes more difficult to recognize. It's a hard thing for anyone to understand, and especially so for a child. This book offers a helpful visualization of a sick person's essence as a friendly creature who remains strong and warm, even as the illness progresses. The creature is always around and never tries to cheer the child up, but only serves to keep them company. Caroline Wright and Willow Heath clearly understand that, like the creature, a book cannot "fix" a painful situation or even make it a little better. Instead they simply reflect the pain of loss back to the reader and help them understand that they are not alone.

The revised fourth edition of Killing Cancer–Not People contains indisputable breakthrough material on the cutting edge of scientific advancement in oncology.” — Maureen Howard Long, Owner, Holy Grail Cancer Care ** “If I had to choose one book that would teach me how to prevent and heal chronic disease it would be Bob Wright’s Killing Cancer–Not People. When you read it, open not just your conscious, left brain mind, but your heart mind. The truth shall set you free – from disease.” — Brian LeCompte, MD ** “I talk to people with cancer every day. At our pharmacy, we strive to inform and educate our clients regarding alternative cancer treatments and supplements. Most people don’t know what to do or where to start. I suggest, ‘Killing Cancer – Not People,’ as the best place to start. The book is easily understood and gets to the point with the truth about cancer and how to heal it.

Doctors kept saying it was a miracle. Of 10,000 previous cases, this is the only one where the patient was totally cleared of tumors WITHOUT any medical treatment. We are so happy and grateful to Bob Wright of the AACI/IWARC for this ‘miracle’ of natural healing and their prayers. Without reading this book and support from the AACI/ IWARC, my son would have ended up taking chemotherapy. We cannot imagine what would have happened next!” - Dennis Kong, Sibu ** "Bob give you here a fabulous 'User's Manual' for your body. He says he's giving you 'the truth' and he's right. I've read dozens of books on healing cancer using natural substances - the why and how. This is the best. I've written and published 3 three such books myself. This is the best Bar none." — Bill Henderson, Author of "Cancer Free"
Download or read book 100 Days Between Life and Death written by Lilia Koch and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-25 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring, strikingly truthful story in the best tradition of "When Breath Becomes Air" is a gripping read and a serious record of how to overcome incredible obstacles. One day life starts testing you to the limit--your love and your happiness, your future and your dreams. CANCER. The news about the dreadful diagnosis came unexpectedly and immediately changed the life of the main character. A surgery, chemotherapy, and long months of rehabilitation. She had to overcome a lot--physical pain, betrayal by the man she loved, loneliness, and anxiety. But she never lost hope.100 Days Between Life and Death reads like a rollercoaster romance novel but it is not a book of fiction. It is based on a strikingly truthful real diary, the first page of which was written on a small piece of paper by a frightened, fragile woman on the day before the operation. All her thoughts, fears, and worries poured out on paper and turned into a survival guide, which now can help a lot of people who have lost hope in a similar situation get back to a happy life, like Lilia Koch did.This story is not about a disease. It is about coming back to oneself and discovering oneself, about losing and finding love. It's a genuine and honest diary, based on personal experience. One that needs to be shared. Reviews -- "You will suddenly start living. At first with her. Then on your own."-- "Who is she? Who is the woman you will be with for a couple of days and nights? Once you've picked up the book, it will be very hard to put it down. She is an ordinary person, and at the same time she is enchanting. She is strong, but vulnerable. She is reasonable, but overwhelmed with feelings and emotions. However, she is always genuine and opting for life."-- "I've always been attracted by books based on real events. Here it is not just realism, but the opportunity, the chance to rethink everything within us, to reevaluate our thoughts, emotions, intentions, as well as relationships. Having read this book, I wanted to live more deeply, to create, and to love!" -- "This book is like a breath of genuineness, truth, and sincerity. It's amazing that the reality is much more breathtaking and vivid there than in any intricate blockbuster. We can learn from it about love and how to fight, about devotion and 'the feeling of flow', the ability to be happy about small things and to create our own life journey. It's a lively, many-sided, and multilayered crystal, gleaming with all shades of emotion." -- "When I finished reading the most emotional and painful part, I reminded that I was not reading a novel, but a real story, the value of which is that Lilia Koch is real and all that happened in her real life; therefore, this story can and should be used to activate or strengthen the part of us that can object to the quiet whisper of destiny, 'Give up and die!'--and say instead, 'I believe in myself and I will live!'"

Book excerpt: A 2012 New York Times Book Review Notable Book "Staggering, searing…Ms. Gubar deserves the highest admiration for her bravery and honesty." —New York Times Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body’s betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need.

Struck by appendiceal cancer in 2007, Stuart battled this rare disease with an unimaginable tenacity and vigor. Countless surgeries, enervating chemotherapies, endless shuttling from home to hospital to office and back—Stuart continued defying fate, pushing himself through exercises and workout routines that kept him strong.
