"Your work is an insightful and exceptionally well organized touchstone for cancer patients and their family members and friends. Attention to even the most seemingly trivial detail to people who have never encountered the disease makes it obvious that it is based on many years of experience caring for many cancer patients and personal interaction with their extended families at the closest level and at the most vulnerable time.

For those who are starting their personal journey with cancer-as the book points out- have faith. Miracles do happen and by reading the book you will be encouraged to learn that a cancer diagnosis is by no means an automatic death sentence. Without a doubt the disease and its treatment create significant life change for all involved. However the book is an incredible resource that teaches that those with the physical and mental and spiritual strength can learn to live with the disease."
