Book excerpt: I didn't want to write this book because, in my opinion, people would not believe my story. After all, I hitchhiked the world without money, visited thirty-five countries, lived on three continents as an immigrant, survived and overcame challenges such as famine, earthquakes and catastrophic hurricanes, shipwreck, an air accident, a motorcycle accident, kidnapping, poison, stabbing, discrimination, racism, prison, depression, panic attacks, a heart attack, and being lost in the Amazon jungle. I even survived super-aggressive cancer and COVID-19. I'm here, still alive to tell this story...

Book excerpt: If you have been diagnosed with cancer, it is crucial to follow your doctor's advice. However, there are other things you can do to improve your chances of recovery. The author shares his story of being diagnosed with cancer, undergoing surgery and immunotherapy, which was stopped due to an autoimmune response. Even after that, his doctors gave him a prognosis of eight to ten months to live. This book explains the specific steps the author took to beat stage IV cancer, without needing chemotherapy. There is a common misconception that a cancer diagnosis is a death sentence, but this book demonstrates otherwise. It delivers valuable insights on extending your life and maintaining good health. The book discusses natural and affordable options you can take to speed up your recovery from cancer. The author has been cancer-free for over six years thanks to the information he shares in this book. After six months of following the natural options and some key lifestyle choices, his CT scans were clear and have remained so ever since. What you will find in this book: Hope for a bright and healthy future. Encouragement to move forward with simple steps to help you recover from cancer. Confidence that you can do this! Peace of mind, knowing that you are taking steps in the right direction for your life and your health. A sense of belonging to a community of others who are on a similar journey. Ideas on things you can do to bring yourself to optimal health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir of a four-time cancer survivor LAUREN SEGAL Cancer: A Love Story is the intimately searing memoir of a four-time cancer survivor. The book breathlessly tracks author Lauren Segal’s journey to come to terms with the untold challenges of facing the dreaded disease. Forced to face her needle phobia, the author leads the reader into her crumbling world as she confronts the terrors of treatment—from debilitating chemo to nuking radiation. Death is her uninvited companion. But in the midst of her lonely horror, in a quest for deeper meaning, Lauren discovers the unexpected gift of awareness of unanticipated opportunities that cancer presents—to confront her unmasked humanity—her fears, strengths and weaknesses. “I have come to understand that in the same way that the majestic lotus flower has its roots in murky waters, so too does the emergence of beauty in life sometimes depend on life’s darker events.” Lauren Segal currently works as a museum curator; her most recent project is curating and designing the new Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre. She heads up Trace, a research, design and exhibition company. Inspired by her own journey into self-discovery and healing, Lauren is currently studying part-time to become a psychoanalyst. “What a privilege to read this immensely inspirational and brave story. Lauren’s personality and energy leaps off the page – the mark of a natural and gifted writer.” —David Cohen, campaigns editor and chief feature writer, London Evening Standard

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer Entangled explores the shifts that took place in Denmark around the millennium, when health promoters set out to minimize delays in cancer diagnoses in hope of improving cancer survival. The authors suggest a temporal reframing of cancer control that emphasizes the importance of focusing on how people – potential patients as well as health care professionals – experience and anticipate cancer before a diagnosis or a prediction has been made. This argument compellingly challenges and augments anthropological work on cancer control that has privileged attention to the productive role of science and technology and to life with cancer or cancer risk. By offering rich ethnographic insights into the introduction of the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, public discourses on delays, social class and care seeking, cancer suspicion in the clinic, as well as the work on fast-track referral – the book convincingly situates cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time, showing how cancer waiting times become an index of the "state of the nation".

Download or read book Surviving the Storm written by Cheryl Krauter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving the Storm presents a humanistic psychological perspective on how to support cancer survivors by offering an individualized narrative structure designed to help them tell their stories. This is a book for people who need to tell the story of how they've been touched by cancer. It doesn't tell what to eat, or how much to exercise, or what to think and feel. Instead, it introduces a contemplative perspective and gives readers a pragmatic structure to help them tell their unique story of surviving or living with cancer. It helps them discover their authentic voice, giving them a way to speak in their own words. Workbook sections are the core of this book and offer a narrative structure created for patients, partners, families, and friends with an emphasis on the different needs and questions of each group. This book focuses on the whole person, their potential, and their natural drive toward authenticity. A contemplative perspective emphasizes shared human needs such as love, belonging, and personal meaning, and expands beyond the learning-based behavioral and psychosocial resources that are currently available to cancer patients and their families. The book provides options that differ from the support group and medical models of treatment, opening up an alternative to the mode of managing or tolerating the issues of cancer into the realm of awareness, exploration, acceptance, and transformation. While it is tempting to find solutions and try to there is much to be gained from learning how to live with uncertainty and from delving more deeply into the emotional residue of cancer. Included are definitions of the different phases of cancer survivorship, material that gives survivors a viewpoint that normalizes the challenges they face, and current research and literature. Personal stories of cancer survivors are highlighted, and poetry and writings related to cancer are interspersed throughout the book to make it more personal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any woman cancer survivor can tell you precisely where she was the moment she heard the words that changed her life forever: "You have cancer." A tsunami of doctors and drugs, procedures and scans, hurry up and wait ensue. Then, after months, maybe years, the waters of frenetic activity part. The big day arrives. Treatment is over. But wait! There was safety and structure in that treatment. As survivors, we are suddenly struck by the realization there is no Humpty Dumpty moment when all the pieces of our lives will be put back together, rebuilding the person we once were. Rather, we often find ourselves still dragging the carcass of our illness behind us. Whether we're told we have no evidence of disease, or that we must live with our cancer, what will fill the holes now that the diagnosis and treatment stages have leveled off? How do we push "play"on a once-paused life? What was it all for? For the more than eight million American women survivors of all cancers, the cancer journey will forever be a part of our story. It is a story in two acts. Act 1 was our life before cancer. Now our 2nd Act must begin. An ever-growing body of research supports the idea that "helping is healing." Whether aware of that idea or not, across the country women survivors are taking their lives back by doing amazing things in their 2nd Acts. They're using their newly realized gifts of life and experience to give back to the greater good. a2ndact.org supports and celebrates these women by giving them a platform from which to share their stories: A 2nd Act: Survivorship Takes the Stage. These curated stage performances feature eight to 10 women survivors, local to their performance city, using the centuries old craft of storytelling. They are ordinary women inspiring their audiences to create their own 2nd Acts, regardless of what life challenge might lie before them. Within the pages of this book, you'll find their amazing stories, along with our hope that you, too, will be inspired to overcome whatever obstacle might be blocking your path. We further hope that you'll share what you learn with others who also need to create a 2nd Act. Proceeds from the purchase of this book will allow us to make micro-grants to other women survivors, ready to begin their 2nd Acts. We thank you for your support, as woman by woman, city by city, we change survivors' life focus from "Why Me?" to "What's Next?"
