Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it, cancer sucks. This book provides real-life advice from real-life teens designed to help teens live with a parent who is fighting cancer. One million American teenagers live with a parent who is fighting cancer. It's a hard blow for those already navigating high school, preparing for college, and becoming increasingly independent. Author Maya Silver was 15 when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. She and her dad, Marc, have combined their family's personal experience with advice from dozens of medical professionals and real stories from 100 teens—all going through the same thing Maya did. The topic of cancer can be difficult to approach, but in a highly designed, engaging style, this book gives practical guidance that includes: How to talk about the diagnosis (and what does diagnosis even mean, anyway?) The best outlets for stress (punching a wall is not a great one, but should it happen, there are instructions for a patch job) How to deal with friends (especially one the ones with 'pity eyes') Whether to tell the teachers and guidance counselors and what they should know (how not to get embarrassed in class) What happens in a therapy session and how to find a support group if you want one A special section for parents also gives tips on strategies for sharing the news and explaining cancer to a child, making sure your child doesn't become the parent, what to do if the outlook is grim, and tips for how to live life after cancer. My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks allows teens to see that they are not alone. That no matter how rough things get, they will get through this difficult time. That everything they're feeling is ok. Essays from Gilda Radner's "Gilda's Club" annual contest are an especially poignant and moving testimony of how other teens dealt with their family's situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, what are the odds that cancer would strike David Yates three times – and he would survive? David Yates survived serving military duty in Vietnam, only to come home and find out that he had cancer – malignant melanoma, to be exact. After surgery and recovery time, he was finally getting back on his feet when the cancer returned less than two years later. Surgery and treatment again followed, and David was back into his life – changed, but still moving forward. More than three decades later, David found himself receiving the news of a cancer diagnosis for the third time. Cancer Sucks – A True Story is David’s story. From the moment of that third diagnosis – this time for colon cancer – David was determined to see this through to its completion. He hadn’t let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn’t beat him this time, either.

From the moment of that third diagnosis – this time for colon cancer – David was determined to see this through to its completion. He hadn’t let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn’t beat him this time, either. Cancer Sucks is no “woe is me” story, though. This is a story of survival, of making it through to the other side of illness, and – above all – of helping others to do the same. Filled not only with personal stories, but also first-hand accounts of what to expect when going through treatments, David’s story becomes a new kind of handbook for cancer patients. With practical and frank advice, David not only explains how he has made it through, but he urges us all to pay more attention to our bodies and to take our health into our own hands. Perhaps this is not just David’s story after all, but a cautionary tale for all of us.Cancer Sucks is no “woe is me” story, though.

Book excerpt: An honest, irreverent, laugh-out-loud guide to coping with death and dying from Emmy-nominated writer and New York Times bestselling co-author of Sh*tty Mom Laurie Kilmartin. Death is not for the faint of heart, and sometimes the best way to cope is through humor. No one knows this better than comedian Laurie Kilmartin.

With chapters like “Are You An Old Man With Daughters? Please Shred Your Porn,” “If Cancer was an STD, It Would Be Cured By Now,” and “Unsubscribing Your Dead Parent from Tea Party Emails,” Laurie Kilmartin guides you through some of life’s most complicated moments with equal parts heart and sarcasm.
