Book excerpt: "How do I deal with this fear?" You've just learned that you have cancer. Once the shock wears off, your new reality sets in. The fear is overwhelming. You're reminded over and over again that you need to have a positive attitude. You put on a brave face and try to think positively. But, fearing the worst, it's nearly impossible. It Begins with Belief challenges the idea that you must simply think positively and offers a more practical approach to dealing with your fear. This book will: * Provide a step-by-step roadmap to overcoming your fear. * Address difficult questions such as, "If all I can think about is dying, isn't that what will happen?" and "How can I be optimistic when I'm consumed by uncertainty?" * Help you get to the root of your fear by exploring your beliefs about cancer, healing, and love. * Show you how to challenge your fear-based beliefs and create new, empowering beliefs based on fact. * Prove this truth: If your body creates cancer, it can heal cancer, too! It's not about thinking positively. It's about believing positively! Sound impossible? This book will show you how. "With Jill's intelligence, compassion, and medical knowledge, she was the perfect survivor mentor. She has taken the stories and insights and written a factual, but uplifting book that will help cancer survivors and caregivers, alike." Kristy Zane, American Cancer Society, Reach to Recovery Coordinator A word from the Author: When you hear the words, "You have cancer," it's normal to feel afraid. Faced with a serious illness, fear represents your very strong instinct to survive. However, if you don't consciously address your fear, it can create feelings of deep hopelessness. Feeling hopeless is extremely painful. I know this because I have been in those shoes. Eleven years ago, I was diagnosed with an aggressive recurrence of breast cancer. More than anything else--the chemo, the side effects, and the loss of my breasts and hair--my greatest struggle was dealing with the fear. When you are very scared and convinced that things "don't look good," the idea of overcoming your fear may seem impossible. My mission is to show you that it absolutely can be done. Whether you follow the guidance in my book, It Begins with Belief, or reach out for one-on-one coaching, I am confident that I can help you. I will guide you through a practical, step-by-step process that will change what you believe is possible with real facts and actions. Together, we will create new experiences, beliefs, and expectations that will give you real hope. Remember, it's not about thinking positively. It's about the power of believing positively! About the Author: Jill earned her doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic-West and her board certification in family practice from the University of California, Davis-FNP/PA Program. Jill's greatest passion is showing her patients how to take control and find real hope, even when faced with a life-threatening diagnosis. She has had the pleasure of helping many people through her medical practice, and as a volunteer for the American Cancer Society's Reach to Recovery program, a support program for women who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Jill currently devotes her time to coaching cancer survivors using the principles of It Begins with Belief. Please visit Jill at http://jillringer.com.

Download or read book The Opposite of Certainty written by Janine Urbaniak Reid and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brilliant, rich...breathtakingly honest and sometimes very funny.” —Anne Lamott “I loved this book.” ­—Glennon Doyle “Extraordinary.” —Caroline Leavitt “Observant and warm...the finest company.”—Kelly Corrigan “A beautiful sucker punch, like life.“ —Ron Fournier “Subtle, powerful, and hypnotic...” — Martin Cruz Smith What happens when we can no longer pretend that the ground underfoot is bedrock and the sky above predictable? All Janine Urbaniak Reid ever wanted was for everyone she loved to be okay so she might relax and maybe be happy. Her life strategy was simple: do everything right. This included trying to be the perfect mother to her three kids so they would never experience the kind of pain she pretended not to feel growing up. What she didn’t expect was the chaos of an out-of-control life that begins when her young son’s hand begins to shake. The Opposite of Certainty is the story of Janine’s reluctant journey beyond easy answers and platitudes. She searches for a source of strength bigger than her circumstances, only to have her circumstances become even thornier with her own crisis. Drawn deeply and against her will into herself, and into the eternal questions we all ask, she discovers hidden reserves of strength, humor, and a no-matter-what faith that looks nothing like she thought it would. Beautifully written and deeply hopeful, Janine shows us how we can come through impossible times transformed and yet more ourselves than we’ve ever allowed ourselves to be.

Download or read book The Cancer Whisperer written by Sophie Sabbage and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self-published sensation and UK bestseller that has helped thousands touched by cancer. “I have cancer. Cancer does not have me.” Sophie Sabbage was forty-eight years old, happily married, and mother to a four-year-old daughter when she was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Since that shocking diagnosis, she has been on a remarkable journey of healing and renewal that has reshaped her life—for the better. The Cancer Whisperer chronicles Sophie’s extraordinary relationship with cancer and the very effective methods she has used for dealing with her fear, anger, denial, and grief. The Brené Brown of cancer, Sophie empowers readers to reject the traditional adversarial relationship with cancer by teaching us how to listen to it; how to be healed by it as well as how to seek to cure it; and how to be emotionally free even when we are physically curtailed. Beautifully and poignantly written, The Cancer Whisperer encourages cancer patients to: • Direct their own treatment while preserving their personhood in a system that tends to see them as patients more than people. • Engage with fear, anger, and grief in healthy and healing ways instead of toughing it out, trying to be falsely positive, or collapsing into despair. • Radically shift from being a cancer victim to a cancer listener—fostering an understanding of cancer as a symptom of other underlying causes and engaging with whatever changes it calls on them to make. As authentic as it is revolutionary, The Cancer Whisperer calls for an end to “the war on cancer” and the start of a more transformative dialogue with the disease.
