Download or read book Cancer Stories written by David Michael Gregory and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1999 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us will be touched by cancer in the course of our lifetime – as a person diagnosed with the disease or as a family member or friend who must witness its course in someone we love. For all of us, this encounter with cancer will entail an exploration of the margins of life and death. Too often, especially once the curative stage is passed, patients and their loved ones make this journey in silence and without the full support of a medical system whose chief mandate is to "win the battle" against cancer. In Cancer Stories five people share their journeys, their stories, and the suffering they faced before their deaths. These narratives chronicle the despair, hope, and love they experienced while living and dying with cancer, giving the power of the human spirit full voice. Lessons learned are presented as "gifts" at the conclusion of each of the five narratives. This book is for people living with the disease and their caregivers. Nurses and physicians, students in any health-related discipline, as well as persons engaged in qualitative research will also find this an invaluable resource. The importance of incorporating qualitative, research-based approaches in caring for the dying emerges from the narratives. Cancer Stories points toward a more holistic research/treatment agenda, one that bridges the medical and social sciences. David M. Gregory is associate professor in the Faculty of Nursing, University of Manitoba. Cynthia K. Russell is assistant professor in the College of Nursing, University of Tennessee, Memphis.

Download or read book Love Laughter written by Marilyn R. Moody and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-01-19 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love & Laughter is the true story of the original American Online Cancer Survivors Support Group. It was written to show the bonding between many courageous people, who came together weekly, in cyberspace to share their stories while going through their cancer experiences. The title of the book is the essence of the story. You may become teary eyed in places, and for sure you will have many good laughs as these people bring lots of humor to the sessions. The story is told in a two act play, with two scenes each. The period covered is from Halloween of 1994 through New Years Eve of 1995. There are some main characters, and also people who drop in on occasion to participate in the cancer chat meetings. You will probably find at least one person that you cant help falling in love with. If you are a cancer survivor you will probably relate to what these people are experiencing and expressing in the group. When the play was performed in Southern California it received excellent reviews. People who never had cancer, spoke about how much they learned about a cancer diagnosis. Its informative, sad, funny and very, very real. Comments from audience members who had never touched a computer but who said theyd read about chat rooms in the newspapers stated, that it gave them such a vision of what goes on in one that they now could understand what chat rooms are about. One person who lives in the Midwest ordered a copy of the video tape of the play. Shes not a cancer survivor and has never been in a chat room, but she said watching the play made her feel like she was part of the group. When you read the book you will probably wonder how cyberspace could be created on a stage... but just let your imagination go with the story thats what I did when I wrote it. Youll know whats going on, and well Welcome to Cancer Survivors!
Download or read book Cancer written by Ross Suozzi and published by Cancer Its Not a Death Sentence. This book was released on 2019-09-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THRIVING WITH CANCER Survival doesn't have to be a cancer patient's only goal, and feeling overwhelmed doesn't have to describe what it's like to go through treatment. Focusing on one's purpose and goals can make every day more manageable. In a book that tells the harrowing story of his own diagnosis and treatment alongside his wife's and his eldest son's battles with cancer, Ross Suozzi encourages readers to see that a "successful" treatment comes from actively plotting a positive approach to each and every day. Reflecting on his own trials and errors, he offers a step-by-step guide filled with helpful suggestions for cancer patients and those who love and care for them. Suozzi details his family's discovery that a semi-structured and thoughtful approach to daily living can do wonders when it comes to navigating the confusion, letdowns, and pains that arise during treatment. Conscientious planning can help to lower anxiety, boost overall well-being, and even make room for moments that are full of life's exuberance. This book tackles personal and family issues that aren't often raised by medical professionals and shines a light on what matters most: experiences that give life meaning and purpose. Cancer: It's Not a Death Sentence is about reaching for happiness and recovery in the face of sudden life-threatening situations like cancer, and reviews the caregiving, life, and health challenges of survivors and members of Ross Suozzi's family. Where other cancer memoirs often become singular focuses blending personal experience with recovery and medical insights, Suozzi's ability to cover both sides of the cancer coin creates an atmosphere that is as specific about emotional hurdles as it is about treatments, what works and what doesn't, and how to handle not just physical but psychological and social challenges surrounding cancer. This cancer survivor's ability to incorporate all these facets under one cover represents a unique approach to his subject that will educate and enlighten not just fellow sufferers, but caregivers, families, friends, and anyone whose lives have been touched by a cancer diagnosis.

Download or read book The Buoy Projects written by Lorna J. Brunelle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanda Stairs Howard was many things to many people, but first and foremost, she was a mother, grandmother, and wife. Her daughter Lornas book is an account of how Wanda took what was left of her life and squeezed it until the pips squeaked, how she and her tireless Team Wanda celebrated her life whilst she was still living it, and how eventually they set her free for the ultimate journey. This book was written because so many people responded so strongly to her story as it played out through the medium of Facebook, and many of those people asked Lorna to put her mothers story into print so that she could inspire others who werent lucky enough to know her personally. By the end of the book, I hope that readers will feel like they knew Wanda and that many will take comfort and inspiration from her life and death.

Download or read book Making Cancer History written by James S. Olson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center vividly reveals how cancer treatment in America—and our attitudes toward the disease—has changed since the middle of the twentieth century. One of the preeminent cancer centers in the world, M. D. Anderson is also one of the first medical institutions devoted exclusively to caring for people with cancer and researching treatments and cures for the disease. Historian James S. Olson’s narrative relates the story of the center’s founding and of the surgeons, radiologists, radiotherapists, nurses, medical oncologists, scientists, administrators, and patients who built M. D. Anderson into the world-class institution it is today. Through interviews with M. D. Anderson’s leaders and patients, Olson brings to life the struggle to understand and treat cancer in America. A cancer survivor who has himself been treated at the center, Olson imbues this history with humor, passion, and humanity.

Download or read book Ball Other Funny Stories About Cancer written by Brian Lobel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unexpected, quirky and provocative, BALL & Other Funny Stories About Cancer is a unique collection of performances about illness and the changing body over time. Documenting a trilogy of Brian Lobel’s monologue performances from 2001-2011, this collection challenges the inspirational stories of survivors and martyrs that have come before, infusing the ‘cancer story’ with an urgency and humour which is sometimes inappropriate, often salacious and always, above all else, honest and open. Published together for the first time, this collection of performances goes beyond the chemotherapy to include reflections on politics, sexuality and gender, providing cancer – and cancer narratives – with a much-deserved kick in the ball(s).
