Cancer is indiscriminate. It cares little for class, creed or color. Its patients are literally everywhere. When Laura Holmes Haddad was diagnosed, she discovered shelf upon shelf of overly-earnest, somber, gray survival books, and knew there had to be a better way. This Is Cancer is the thoughtful, informative fabulous-looking result for those who prefer their pathos with equal parts humor and reality and a touch of flair. A “what to expect when you’re expecting” book for the diagnosis you don’t want but are stuck with, This Is Cancer is the book that patients keep in their “heading to the hospital bag,” because it’s the only one that tells them what’s going on and keeps them company. Including such useful snippets as: • There is no limit to what you will put yourself through when told it might save your life. • Stay away from the Internet. And don’t let anyone tell you “what they looked up” about your diagnosis. • You’ll be surrounded by people but you’ll feel lonely, and alone, sometimes. • Lexapro is Tylenol for the soul. • If you don’t like your doctor(s), find new ones. You will feel somewhat at the mercy of them, like they hold the key to your mortality, but in fact more than one doctor can potentially save you and some are nice and some are mean. Whether you or your loved ones want a primer full of useful information in an easy to reference format or a friendly and comforting read, the honest, grave, and mordantly funny stories and tips from young survivors will bring you the real intel and advice that you need most during this tremendously difficult time.
This isnt just a book about cancer, but its about Gods strength in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. Laura shares her real struggles, all the while weaving hope and trust throughout the story. Whether you have had cancer in the past, have it now, or never get cancer, you have had and will have major trials. We all do. Reading Lauras honest account of her battle with stage IV cancer will help you see how faith in the living God works out in the ups and downs of such a life and death struggle. I appreciated how Laura did not cover up her feelings, and how she described the intensity of the battle she went through. I also appreciated reading of how her husband, Mark, stood with her and supported her during this ordeal. Her story additionally shows how much we need each other during such trials and practically, how to be of help to a friend who is going through such difficult times. By reading this story, you will be strengthened in your faith and better prepared for the next trial you will face. Pastor Steve Cole Flagstaff Christian Fellowship

It's a subject nobody wants to talk about until it attacks them! Unless you have been through it yourself, you cannot relate or fully understand what that person is going through. It's time to bring this topic out into the open and "talk" about it and realize that no one can get through it without support, family, friends, and faith. My journey started in 2013 with my first surgery to remove lymph nodes. The results were "inconclusive." Five years went by before my lymph nodes would again decide to "freak out" and require another surgery. This time we got answers... The smell of spring was in the air, and the day was sunny and warm. I was trying to finish up the current school year with my kiddos when everything changed. My husband and I had big plans for the summer. We were looking forward to kayaking, camping, fishing; and I was looking forward to playing softball. Then came the doctor's appointment, and when the doctor said cancer, everything came to a screeching halt in more ways than one. Cancer is devastating, but I chose to put on my armor and fight this beast head-on. I did not realize just how difficult this "battle" was going to be and how much I would be tested physically, spiritually, and mentally. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to face; but with God, family, and friends, I was able to defeat the beast "for now." Was it easy? No! Do I want to go through it again? No! But after talking with many cancer survivors, I learned that anything is possible through prayer and perseverance. I hope that sharing my story may help someone else get through their journey with hope and courage.

Are you worn out from life's ought-to's and should-do's? It's so easy to give away our time to things un-appointed by God. We commit to something because it's a good cause or there's a great need. Or maybe because no one else will help out. The result? The days blur together and we find ourselves overworked and underjoyed, desperate for a faith awakening. In this practical and liberating book, Susie shares biblical ways to: · Learn how--and when--to say no without guilt or shame · Find a pace and perspective that matches God's best for you · Discern man-made obligations from God-given invitations Will you say yes to the One who will rejuvenate your soul? Includes Reflection Questions for Personal or Group Use. A DVD Study Companion Is Also Available Separately. "If your days feel more life-draining than life-giving, let Susie Larson show you how to reclaim the joyful, fruitful life God wants for you."--Mark Batterson, bestselling author and lead pastor of National Community Church "Susie really opened my eyes to look for God's best when deciding where I spend my time. He doesn't give up on us because we made mistakes. He has a design and purpose to fulfill, and the enemy would love nothing more than to take us out with exhaustion and wasted time."--Caroline Barnett, co-pastor of The Dream Center and author of Willing to Walk on Water "Saying yes to God is the most important decision you can make, but it shouldn't stop there. After beginning a relationship with Christ, we must constantly say yes to His influence, wisdom, and power in our lives. Your Sacred Yes will empower and equip you to say yes to a life of freedom, fulfillment, and significance. Say yes!"--Craig Groeschel, senior pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of From This Day Forward "Challenging us to carefully consider our sacred responsibilities, Susie Larson uses her trademark transparent stories to compel us to rest more and to make the difficult decisions that will prioritize our relationship with God. If you find yourself in the rat race of life, Your Sacred Yes will give you the courage to slow down and say yes to the right things."--Pastor Nate and Jodi Ruch, Emmanuel Christian Center "This is such a timely book for all of us. I am grateful that Susie said yes to writing these sacred truths. This book will strengthen and empower all of us to follow the voice of God with more boldness and clarity."--Brady Boyd, pastor of New Life Church and author of Addicted to Busy

Advanced Therapy of Breast Disease by S. Eva Singletary,Geoffrey L. Robb,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi Pdf
The information surveyed in this volulme is designed to provide the clinician with an expert overview of the current state of the art in breast cancer management. It should provide at least a flavor of the major paradigm shift that is occurring in this rapidly evolving field. Breast cancer management is moving away from a "kill or cure" model and advancing toward a model focused on strategies of prevention and of long-term management of breast cancer as a chronic disease. The acceptance of this new paradigm by patients and clinicians alike will represent a major focus for the twenty-first century.
This book is dedicated to my friends going through chemo and radiation and others who, like me, suffer from a chronic affliction. Sometimes we don't give God much thought or attention until we need Him. Then, we go through all kinds of conniptions about whether He will hear us and help us because we know what our attitude toward Him has been like. And, there it is: He still loves us. There are 31 days worth of stuff in this book. They say it takes 30 days to break and make habits. You get an extra day to lock it in. LOL If you are reading the paperback version, there are pages at the end of each devotion called Love Notes on which you can write prayers and thoughts. People will be praying for you. God will use wherever we are when we finally pay attention to Him to show His love toward us and give us another opportunity to fully belong to Him and be more...be His son, be His daughter - forever.
Confessions of the Classmate Who Never Was, Northfield School for Girls Class Of 1964 by Susan Chapman Melanson Pdf
At 16-years-old, Melanson spent the summer waitressing at the summer conferences at Northfield School for Girls. The New England backdrop included the 125-room Schell Chateau. Her adventures include a grand tour of the Chateau under the cloak of darkness and is documented with photos and floor plans. She pleaded with her parents to send her to the boarding school, but their answer was "No". Nevertheless she retained an attachment to the school. When she became an adult she began giving to the alumnae fund because she believed in the ethic of the school. One year a flustered alumnae secretary phoned asking what class she had been affiliated with, presuming the undocumented alum had probably flunked out. Her answer was "Why 1964!" After that she was invited to reunions and her "news" appeared in the alumnae publications. In 2004, came the announcement that the Northfield campus was closing. That was the spark that prompted her to return for "her" 40th Reunion. This is that story.
