Book excerpt: Unfortunately, in this day and time, we are all touched by cancer - oneself, a loved one, a friend and/or a coworker. The day I received my diagnosis, I was afraid, shocked, confused, angry, and disappointed. How did this happen? How did I get cancer? What would happen to my family? What would people remember about me? I had a lot of questions and I wasn't sure what to tell people.Being diagnosed with cancer reawakened a part of me that had been lulled to sleep by the pain of my past. I didn't like the treatment, yet I was thankful for the journey. I met a lot of great people and learned I lot along the way. Whether I lived or died, I learned to appreciate each moment of every day of my life. I began to live differently, love differently and enjoy life. How Cancer Saved My Life is about the impact cancer had on my life, emotionally, spiritually, and physically - the good and the bad, joys and sorrows. It's also about ways to care for family and friends diagnosed with cancer. As you read, I hope that you are encouraged and empowered so that when someone is diagnosed with cancer, anxiety and fear doesn't paralyze the survivor or caretaker from "living life." Prepare to laugh, cry, think deeply, and live life to the fullest. Like cancer, my story is an emotional roller coaster. This is not a book to be read from cover to cover because it's really three books in one; Part I - How cancer saved my life, Part II - My cancer journey through blogs and pictures, Part III- Caring for family and friends with cancer.Remember that everyone's journey is different. I wouldn't cancer on anyone yet I am thankful for the experience.Enjoy the journey! Chandra
