PICKING UP THE PIECES: LIFE AFTER CANCER by CLAIRE BRISSETTE-LAMOUREUX. Ph.D. Pdf

One’s journey through cancer does not end with the last treatment. Cancer affects patients and survivors not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. Living through cancer impacts one’s sense of self, one’s energy level, and one’s ability to move on. The cancer experience calls into question the meaning and purpose of life. It affects one’s relationship with self, others, and God. Moving forward from the shock and trauma of cancer requires that survivors take time to address these inner dimensions of their cancer experience. This book does just that. It is a compelling personal journey through the many challenges faced by survivors as they attempt to reclaim their life after cancer. The author, a ten year cancer survivor, believes that facing and walking through the emotional and spiritual upheaval of the cancer experience can have a transforming effect on one’s life. She describes her own process, focusing on the first two years after diagnosis---a time of intense fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and turmoil. Acknowledging, facing, and walking through this pain brought her to a place of greater emotional and spiritual freedom---to a richer quality of life. Although each story is unique, survivors live through similar emotional and spiritual struggles. Questions included at the end of each chapter invite the reader to reflect upon their personal journey as a way of working through whatever is preventing them from moving forward. This book is a must read for survivors living through the inner struggles surrounding their cancer experience and movement forward. It is a source of support for those feeling alone in their pain. It is a guide for those wishing to heal and grow emotionally and spiritually from the crisis of cancer. It offers hope and encouragement to all cancer survivors.

After Cancer Care by Gerald Lemole,Pallav Mehta,Dwight Mckee Pdf

After the intense experience and range of emotion that comes with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy (or all three), cancer patients often find themselves with little or no guidance when it comes to their health post-treatment. After Cancer Care is the much-needed authoritative, approachable guide that fills this gap. It includes information on how to maintain physical health—with chapters on epigenetics, nutrition, and exercise—as well as emotional health through stress management techniques. The cutting-edge and growingly popular science of Epigenetics has shown that you are not stuck with your genetic history: your choices in diet, exercise, and even relationships can help determine whether or not your genes promote cancer, and therefore determine your propensity for relapse. Your lifestyle has an effect on the most common types of cancer including breast cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer, and lymphoma. The doctors present easy-to-incorporate lifestyle changes to help you “turn on” hundreds of genes that fight cancer, and “turn off” the ones that encourage cancer, while recommending lifestyle plans to address each type. In addition, they share 34 healthy recipes and tips on staying active and exercising, detoxifying your house and environment, and taking supplements to help prevent relapse. With more than three decades of post-cancer-care experience, Drs. Lemole, Mehta, and McKee break down the science into palatable, practical takeaways so that you can drastically improve your quality of life and enjoy many years of cancer-free serenity.

Blood Brothers by Lisa Solis DeLong Pdf

Not many people experience the death of a child; fewer yet face the possibility of having to do it twice. Justin DeLong was a bright, energetic child when he was diagnosed with leukemia at age five. After battling the cancer, he went into remission for ten years, where he laughed and ran long-distance races and slowly entered adolescence. Sadly, in July 2000 he succumbed to the disease twelve days after his fifteenth birthday. Lisa DeLong and her family were left to pick up the pieces and try to find joy in life without their beloved eldest son and brother. Then, six years later, they discovered something terrifying-their youngest son, Jacob, had leukemia too. Blood Brothers is Lisa DeLong's story of what it has been like to have two sons with leukemia, a lifetime apart. As she struggles to understand how a loving God could allow this to happen, she searches for a way to keep her marriage, her family, and her own sanity together. Whether you're a mother, someone who has experienced cancer either in yourself or someone you love, or a medical professional, the story of these two Blood Brothers will speak to your heart and allow you to see how with faith, great triumph can come from unimaginable tragedy.

Thriving Beyond Cancer by Sharon Henifin, CLC, CN-BA Pdf

Each year over 280,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer alone. But what happens when the treatment is over? How do these women and their families pick up the pieces of their lives after cancer treatment and move on? My book Thriving Beyond Cancer, Hope, Understanding and Validation for the Cancer Survivior fills the gap between survivor stories and positive psychology. It gives the reader the emotional validation they need and a road map to their life beyond cancer. When the doctor dismisses a patient after months of close scrutiny and says, "See you in three months," it feels as if the medical rug has been yanked out from under her feet. There's little or no conversation about the time after treatment and even less written about this precarious time. How does the patient cope during this void? Some worry obsessively about their cancer returning, others wallow in the unprocessed grief. They feel alone and afraid. Women are living longer than ever after having cancer yet many find their lives ill-fitting and dissatisfying. These women have glimpsed their mortality which directly affects their life's trajectory and priorities. These are all heavy topics but they are spun in a warm and loving way with concrete suggestions how to move past the craziness while validating their feelings with survivor stories and quotes. The book addresses the fear of recurrence, the anger, the aging effects, chemically induced menopause, and issues with family and friends. There is conversation around the lasting nature of treatment side effects and how to deal with them physically and emotionally while encouraging survivors to create a plan to reach future dreams. It also talks about advanced disease, everyone's nightmare, demystifying and bringing hope to those managing the chronic side of cancer. Breast cancer is a popular topic but this fresh and timely approach to survivorship will become a must-have in the world of cancer. It will give hope and the tools women everywhere need after cancer. The topic is relevant and important to any woman going through or finished with treatment and those in their lives.
