After the Cure by Emily K. Abel,Saskia K. Subramanian Pdf

"Chemo brain. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Insomnia. Depression. These are just a few of the ongoing, debilitating symptoms that plague some breast-cancer survivors long after their treatments have officially ended. After the Cure is a compelling read filled with fascinating portraits of more than seventy women who are living with the aftermath of breast cancer." "Having heard repeatedly that "the problems are all in your head," many don't know where to turn for help. The doctors who now refuse to validate their symptoms are often the very ones they depended on to provide life-saving treatments. Sometimes family members who provided essential support through months of chemotherapy and radiation don't believe them. Their work lives, already disrupted by both cancer and its treatment, are further undermined by the lingering symptoms. And every symptom serves as a constant reminder of the trauma of diagnosis, the ordeal of treatment, and the specter of recurrence." "Most narratives about surviving breast cancer end with the conclusion of chemotherapy and radiation, painting stereotypical portraits of triumphantly healthy survivors, women who not only survive but emerge better and stronger than before. After the Cure allows us to hear the voices of those who are silenced by the optimistic breast cancer culture, women who live with a broad array of health problems long after therapy ends. Here, at last, survivors step out of the shadows and speak compellingly about their real stories, giving voice to the complicated, often painful realities of life after the cure."--BOOK JACKET.

My Sister Has Breast Cancer by Christine L. Morgan Pdf

To hear the word 'cancer' connected to your daughter, sister, or mother can be very frightening. Christine Morgan's family had always experienced excellent health and led an active lifestyle. Suddenly, the diagnosis of breast cancer threw her family into unfamiliar territory. A family accustomed to doing things together, they had no experience to face the throes of breast cancer and didn't know how to cope or help one another through the battle. Now, several years later, Author Morgan wants to help other families find the courage and strength to get through their own breast cancer battle, or any other type of cancer. She chronicles the fears of the realities and the unknowns, the shift from a happy-go-lucky family to a family with many tears, the family's disagreements for medical care, the various medical options available and finally she shares the family's plan to work together as a team to help her sister through this battle. My Sister Has Breast Cancer! is a heartfelt, touching and informative compilation of Author Morgan's journal entries, which she maintained through her family's own battle with breast cancer. Christine Morgan's book will inspire and comfort the reader through any crisis. Christine is a busy woman with a large and close-knit family, who works in many different arenas to help others. Her main interest is in women's health issues. She teaches prenatal health classes, childbirth preparation classes, and, most recently she has begun helping women attain good health through an exercise program. Christine has ministered as a pastor's wife for over thirty-five years. She enjoys leading small groups, teaching Bible studies and speaking at women's events. Christine and her husband, Eddie, reside in Clovis, California where they enjoy spending time with their three married children and seven grandchildren. While the author's earlier publications include journal articles related to childbirth, My Sister Has Breast Cancer! is Christine's first book.
