When the word "cancer" first comes into their lives, 17-year-old Katherine is one week away from high school graduation, while her sister Jacqueline is only 14. But upon learning of their mother's diagnosis of stage 3 esophageal cancer, a rare cancer with a poor prognosis, the sisters immediately adopted a "we can do this" attitude that played a crucial role in enabling their mother to become cancer-free in only four months. In a cheerful, conversational manner, these sisters share personal stories, fun photos, and an alphabetized list of 127 tips, tidbits, and words of encouragement to help you and your family make it through your cancer journey. You'll learn about chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery-along with complementary treatments for emotional, mental, and physical health such as yoga, diet, and colorful hospital gowns. "ABCs of Cancer" also provides advice for dealing with the practical aspects of money, legal issues, and insurance-and, most importantly, staying focused on moving forward.

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.

Download or read book Two Timed written by Danielle DuChateau and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The journals are those of a girl I once knew - who had cancer and wrote about her experiences. She wanted to share her story, in a way that would have helped her: in a book about having cancer as a teen - written by a teen who experienced it. She wasn't lost in battle, but she's been gone a long time; and I haven't been able to forget her, or let her go. The story seems unfamiliar, and yet I know it by heart. It feels like yesterday, but seems like a lifetime ago. It's the story I never wrote - because it was already written; and at the heart of it is my journey with cancer: a muse, a curse, and a blessing. I've read the book before, but I never closed the first chapter: a book of journals - written by a girl who had cancer." Cancer is a part of my story, and being a survivor is part of my identity, but it is not my entire identity as I felt it was when I was younger. At the end of my second treatment, I decided I was going to write my story and publish it. I even thought of the perfect title for my book: Two-Timed: An Adolescent Cancer Memoir. I thought of it because I felt two-timed by my own body, whose very defense system had attacked itself, and it had happened to me twice. But I didn't write the story. The years went by, and I decided I could not very well write an "adolescent memoir" when I was well into my twenties, but I still had my journals - all the journals. Several more years elapsed until now - twenty three years after the journey began - I am finally "writing" the story.
Download or read book Living with the Ribbon written by MacKenzie Greenberg and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MacKenzies life would be classified as ideal by most teenage standards. A set of supportive parents who were still lovingly married, a best friend who was also her identical twin, a mentally tough athlete (who had more muscles than most of her guy friends), and a competitive GPA that was sure to get her into a great college. Everything was right on track for a perfect life, until the age of sixteen, when she was shockingly diagnosed with cancer during a routine physical. Living with the Ribbon is an authentic recount of how MacKenzie Greenberg dealt with the diagnosis (what denial?), suffered through anxiety at each medical appointment (all one hundred-plus of them), responded with Fine when asked that annoying How are you doing/feeling? question, stubbornly refused to listen to the advice of her support system to take it easy, and ultimately, how she continues to battle daily with a disease that will not play by the rules.

It gives the reader a peak inside to gain understanding and insight into the plight cancer families endure every day.

Download or read book Life After Cancer in Adolescence and Young Adulthood written by Anne Grinyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence and young adulthood is often a difficult enough time without serious illness. However, research has shown that cancer, and surviving cancer, at this age presents distinctive problems medically, socially and psychologically. This important work offers a glimpse into a previously under-researched area and contributes to a better understanding of the needs of young adults post cancer. Focusing not only on the physical effects, but also the social, cognitive, emotional and physiological consequences of surviving cancer in young adulthood, Anne Grinyer draws directly upon data collected from young adults who have been treated for cancer. The book is structured around themes they raised such as fertility; life plans; identity; psychological effects and physical effects. These issues are drawn together in the final chapter and related to clinical and professional practice as well as current policy. This book presents the voices of those who have lived through the experience of cancer in young adulthood, and links them to the theoretical and analytical literature. It will be of interest to professionals and researchers in nursing, social work, counselling and medicine as well as medical sociologists, young adults living with cancer and survivors of young adult cancer.
