Download or read book The Journey of my Cancer written by Belinda Dudley and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one is hit with the words you have cancer, all of a sudden, your whole life flashes right before your very eyes. All of a sudden, it's time for you to fight the fight of your life. You have to fight like your life depends on it because it does. During my cancer journey, I found that once I put all my trust in the Lord and depend on Him not only to pull me through but also to hold me and my family up as I held on to His unchanging hand, the weight of my journey would feel a little lighter. The one thing that I did know and was very sure of was that I could trust God, and His word would not ever come back void. I hope this book gives strength to the weak and hope to the hopeless.
Download or read book Journeys in Cancerland written by John-Peter Bradford and published by Sholom Glouberman. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journeys in Cancerland offers two object lessons in patient participation. For a long time, patients barely participated in their own care. Once diagnosed with a disease like cancer, they would enter an all-consuming acute care system that took over their lives until they went into remission or died. That this is no longer the case is due, for the most part, to patients and caregivers like John-Peter Bradford and Lisa Newman who have begun to take charge of their care. Their stories are not merely instructive about cancer -- they are lessons in how to live with life threatening illness and how to face death. John-Peter Bradford is CEO of Bradford Bachinski Limited and a member of the Cancer Care Advisory Committee of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Lisa Newman has over thirty years' experience in the Ontario healthcare system as a clinician, supervisor, and manager. Foreword by Sholom Glouberman, President of the Patients' Association of Canada

The author's journey began with a discovery of an egg-sized bulge on the inside surface of his left hamstring. Some procrastination and difficulty in diagnosing the tumor caused delays in treatment. Then he and his wife finally found their way to the right physician and oncology team at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Along the way, he shares the tale of three "angels," all perfect strangers who each carried an identical message. Coincidence or divine intervention? You decide.

Download or read book Indigenous and Tribal Peoples and Cancer written by Gail Garvey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cancer survival has improved markedly in developed countries in recent decades, not all groups have benefited equally. In particular, Indigenous and Tribal peoples continue to have poorer cancer outcomes than their non-Indigenous counterparts. The available evidence suggests these disparities are linked to a complex combination of factors, including higher incidence of cancers associated with a high case fatality, later stage of diagnosis, reduced access to cancer treatment, and poorer overall health. Much research is underway to explore approaches to improving health system responses for Indigenous and Tribal peoples. A developing evidence base is supporting effective translation of knowledge into practice. This book offers a global perspective on this evidence base, written from Indigenous perspectives. This book is the first comprehensive publication to report on cancer incidence, mortality, prevalence, survival, and inequities for Indigenous and Tribal peoples globally, with the aim of enhancing global efforts to improve outcomes for these populations. Its content and approach are led by Indigenous researchers with international reputations in health and cancer research. Chapters provide important information and data to support Indigenous-specific, targeted cancer awareness and early detection campaigns. This book goes beyond a discussion of the issues and challenges in Indigenous health, with a strengths-based approach to discussing successful health interventions, research projects, research translation, and living well both with and beyond cancer. This is an open access book.

Chapter authors offer their own views of the core ideas and findings of specific theoretical perspectives, discussing the phenomena those perspectives are best positioned to explain, how the theories fit into the field, and where future research efforts are best placed.

Download or read book Living Time written by Bernadine Healy and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Time is at once a personal odyssey, an intimate doctor-patient communication, and a prescriptive guide for patients and their families. Writing with wit and humility, Dr. Bernadine Healy shares the hard-won insights that transformed her own struggle with a deadly cancer more than seven years ago, affirming her identity as patient and doctor with the many who share this journey. Together with more than ten million survivors in the United States alone, Dr. Healy, former director of the National Institutes of Health, is a close witness to the medical advances that have brought us to a turning point in the war on cancer. This quiet revolution is curing a growing number of cancers and transforming many others from a death sentence to a chronic illness, one that calls for vigilance but not despair. Beginning with her own compelling story, Dr. Healy interweaves it with one of the most lucid narratives ever written of what cancer is, how it works in our bodies, and how we can defeat it. She explains how genetic research and other new approaches are radically altering diagnosis and treatment, and she offers precise and empowering ways for patients and their families to access the information and support they need to secure the best in modern cancer care. She also underlines the urgency of accelerating the pace of research that could map out and destroy cancer in the twenty-first century. Dr. Healy is forthright about the rigors of treatment and the toll cancer still takes, but readers will come away from her book with the information, resources, and heartfelt encouragement they need to look forward to a future with hope. "From the Hardcover edition."
