This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diagnosis of cancer is devastating at any age. For teenagers and young adults, it presents a unique challenge both socially and emotionally. You strive for independence, but cancer leaves you completely dependent on those around you. At an age when you want nothing but to be with your peers, isolation resulting from a compromised immune system leaves you starving for social contact. When you should be able to start setting goals for the future, you are confronted with the possibility of having no future at all. This all makes staying positive very difficult. Through her own experiences as a two-time cancer survivor, and previous teen cancer patient who faced a forty percent chance of survival, Clarissa Schilstra has learned a great deal about all of these challenges and how to cope with them. In the pages of this book, she shares those stories and strategies, in an effort to provide a guide through the emotional roller coaster that is cancer treatment and life as a cancer survivor. A foreword by Lori Wiener, PhD, DCSW, FAPOS is included.

Book excerpt: An Amazon Best of the Month Book "For all the insight he offers into the hard science and thorny logistics of studying cancer, Dr. Scadden’s most moving passages consider the effect of the disease on the people who suffer from it and those who care for them." —The Wall Street Journal A doctor’s riveting story of loss and hope in the world of cancer. What is it like to encounter cancer? How does it feel to face the unknown, to enter a world of hope, loss, and dread? From the diagnosis of his childhood friend’s mother to his poignant memories in the lab, David Scadden’s seen the unknown world of cancer from the lens of a young boy, a classmate, a researcher, a friend, a doctor, and a neighbor. Scadden chronicles his personal memories of cancer – his visits to his sick neighbor and his classmate who left school and never came back. Now Dr. David Scadden, co-founder of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and one of the world's leading experts on immunology and oncology, writes his memoir, Cancerland, with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael D'Antonio. With riveting stories and moving compassion, Scadden and D’Antonio paint a still rapidly changing landscape in the context of all too common stories of loss. Ranging from Scadden’s personal childhood memories to his triumphs and regrets as a doctor, Scadden illuminates a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Through opening a window into the science of medicine in the world of the unknown, Scadden and D’Antonio humanize cancer while inspiring action that we all so desperately need.

Then one day she had gone to school and fell ill. The school notified the parents, and Carrie was picked up and brought home. After two days of hospital visits, the doctors found a large tumor on her ovary. At this time, panic set in, and the doctors agreed that surgery was the first course of action. The surgery was done the next morning, and the tumor was, in fact, cancerous. At this point, the shock of hearing those words left the whole family devastated. At that time, the doctors advised that chemotherapy was the only and most important course of treatment, so with the Mom and Dad's permission, the treatment began. After many months of treatment, the doctors advised that Carrie was in remission. The news was good, but the worry never goes away. Continue the journey, and read the Silent Storm. Feel the roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, and learn that cancer is not a death sentence anymore. Cancer can, indeed, be treated and cured. See how Carrie beat her cancer and moved on with her life. God bless to all who have been touched by this disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Radical Self-Love provides a dynamic range of self-empowerment tools that nourish the journey to wellness. This guide treats healing as it truly is, an “art” that flows with the patient as needs fluctuate and shift to the ever-changing circumstances despite today’s corporate-dictated healthcare system. A nurse is someone who delivers direct patient care and acts as an advocate and health educator for patients and families. To most, this sounds like more than just tender loving care. To others, it may create fear causing them to struggle and ignore their inherent healing power of self-love. You see, most people don’t realize that a deep love for themselves is essential to the healing process . . . a most radical concept. As a professional nurse for more than 30 years, Mary Joosten Lopata, RN, not only assisted with patient care, she also observed patients and wondered why the same treatment often resulted in vastly different outcomes. Then one day her perspective changed when she was unexpectedly stricken with illness. Mary now became the patient and her life was suddenly under the microscope. Had Mary’s training as a Holistic nurse betrayed her? Or was she now learning to restore wellness from a new source? In The Art of Radical Self-Love, Mary Joosten Lopata shares her healing journey from the wisdom of a nurse and the heart of a vulnerable patient to someone with a life that now overflows with newfound self-love. Includes: Affirmations for Wellbeing, Exercises, Follow-up Thoughts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian who has not suffered is like a child without training. Such Christians cannot receive or understand the fulness of God’s blessing. They know the Lord only as an acquaintance rather than as an intimate heavenly Father. Romans 8:17 says, “Now, if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings, we do so we may share in His glory.” This is the goal of the Christian: to so identify with Jesus Christ that is all others see.
