As an expert in chronic illness, author Pamala D. Larsen thought she understood what her patients and families with chronic illness were experiencing. When her husband, Randy, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, however, she realized how little she knew. In Finding a Way through Cancer, Dying, and Widowhood: A Memoir, she presents her journal of dealing with her husbands cancerfrom the first day of diagnosis, through eighteen months of illness, hospice care, his death, and her first long year of widowhood. Providing an honest view of those experiences, Larsen shares thoughts that many people have, but few express. This memoir tells the real story of the pain experienced as a family of caregivers watches the downhill course of a loved one suffering from cancer. This memoir shares insights and asks difficult questions, telling a common, ordinary story that is acted out every day by thousands of people. It serves to communicate that grief is not an easy road; each survivor must find his or her own answers and path to recovery.

The book includes practical tips such as not to wear your wig near an oven or it may melt. Natural history photographs and stories from her many years as an environmental educator, and biology from her career as a science teacher are woven through the book.

This is Mike's story. And you know what? It's your story too. This is so much more than one man's battle with cancer. It's more than one man struggling to find meaning in suffering. It's more than one man's victory. This is for all of us. We all battle with something, we all struggle, we all wrestle and question, we all suffer. And we all can be victorious. Someday. So as you read the story that unfolds in the pages of this book please don't read it as a spectator. Walk this road too; make it your own journey, your own battle, your own quest to find the meaning in suffering, to find God when you feel alone, to find the Light in the midst of deep darkness. Make this your story. You may not have cancer, you may never have battled that particular monster . . . but you've battled a monster. You've struggled, you've prayed and argued with God and cried in His arms. You've suffered in some way. In March of 2008 Mike was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was thirty-five, healthy, married with three beautiful daughters. He was not a candidate for cancer. And yet, there it was. What you have here is a compilation of Mike's journaling interspersed with some other thoughts he's had since that awful, wonderful year. You'll find a chronological order of events from diagnosis to first doctor visits to surgery to chemo to more surgeries. It's all there. But more than a record of events you'll find a spiritual journey that will resonate with anyone who has been touched by a trial or suffering or sorrow or pain. There is brutal honesty in these pages. Because we've all been touched by suffering in one way or another, this book is valuable for anyone. Hopefully, you'll find some hope here, some joy, maybe some laughter, some enlightenment, some inspiration. And hopefully, through the story in these pages you'll come to see God in a different light.

Life doesn't always go as planned. Finding out you have cancer can certainly turn your world upside down.One minute your planning vacation, the next minute your planning surgeries and treatments to try to kill a disease before it can kill you. Then, after weeks of despair, you realize what your going through is a blessing. What's happening to you physically doesn't have to be what is happening to you spiritually. Just because your physical body is sick and weak doesn't mean your spiritual body can't thrive. It can and it will! You may not be going through cancer. For you it could be abuse,addiction,divorce,or depression etc. There are many obstacles in life and none are less important than the other. The most important part of our battle is not the battle itself but instead how we fight that battle and what God can do through us during our battle. The contents of this book share a personal story of a breast cancer journey and how God used this journey for a growing season of inspiration and hope.

A compelling and honest account of facing cancer. The story unfolds through the journal entries of two people--one is the patient and the other the caregiver--as a married couple face an unexpected diagnosis and all that it entails. The caregiver, Beverley, makes very practical points that will help others endure similar circumstances while her husband, Howard, a medical provider-turned-patient, describes, with a wry sense of humor, his own particular approach to this devastating disease (in his case, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) and his growing relationships with other cancer patients. Useful tips about fighting cancer and coping with medical concerns are here--but the focus is spiritual, with emphasis on maintaining hope, faith, and even a sense of humor when things seem their worst. Even with the best attitude, medical care, and faith foundation, things can seem overpowering. It is the striking description of "the dark night of the soul," a time when God seemingly withdraws Himself--a time of testing the believer--that makes this book unique and a real source of strength in times of trouble.

'In this highly readable book about a personal way of dealing with potentially life-threatening illness, we follow author, broadcaster and acclaimed poet Myra Schneider through her journey from diagnosis to recovery from breast cancer. One of the book's special gifts is to make us feel we are engaged in an absorbing conversation with a friend, a friend who is full of courage, sensitivity and hope, but manages at the same time to be completely honest about the terror, anger and times of darkness that such a diagnosis brings.' - Caduceus 'Although, as its title suggests, this book concentrates on writing for cancer sufferers, its advice is equally valid for people suffering from other problems, whether physical, emotional or practical. It shows the empowering effect of writing; how it can help to make sense when the world chaotic; how it can keep you focused when your life is falling apart. This is an inspiring read, made so by the author's frankness, warmth and honesty, which breathe through the pages.' - Writing Magazine 'Reading someone else's journal is so engaging; When that person is a poet and has experienced a life threatening illness, the reading becomes inspiring. Myra Schneider is not only a poet and author but also a teacher. Her guide lines for therapeutic writing are clear and had me reaching for a pen. It would be a very valuable book for most clients who have been, or are going through, illness or any difficult experience, to try the visualisations and writing ideas. These, and the whole book, would be extremely useful for therapists working in any setting. Buy it!' - HCPJ 'Myra, an established poet and author of a handbook on writing for personal development, clearly found her writing enormously supportive throughout the cancer experience. She clearly and simply offers exercises and routes to self-expression and exploration.' - The British Journal of General Practice 'In this moving account [Myra Schneider] tackles with endearing honesty her personal experience of breast cancer. Myra takes us from diagnosis through the long painful route to recovery by developing the journal she decided to keep through her experiences. By sharing her journal with us, Myra has provided a window onto an experience which many people, finding themselves in a similar situation, will take comfort and inspiration from.' - Lapidus Magazine 'While this book provides an intimate portrayal of the author's experience of breast cancer, the writing is often humorous and ultimately uplifting. It will be of interest to people with breast cancer and to those supporting them, and to health professionals for the psychological insights offered.' - Breast Cancer Care News Diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2000, poet and author Myra Schneider turned to her writing to help her come to terms with the experience. In this thoughtful and readable book, she illustrates how writing helped her through diagnosis, treatment and recovery as well as the change in self-image following her mastectomy. In her frank expression of intense fear, anger and doubt, Myra Schneider includes notes and finished poems written during her period of recovery. She also offers practical support in the form of therapeutic writing suggestions for cancer sufferers, whether they are experienced authors or have never written before. Bringing together an unsparing but ultimately uplifting first-hand account of life with cancer and advice about writing as therapy, this engaging and positive book shows the benefits of expressing the self through writing. It will provide inspiration and support to anyone affected by cancer and useful insight for professionals involved in the care of cancer patients.
