Book - Chicken Soup - The Cancer Book

These intimate stories by cancer patients and their loved ones, medical professionals, and friends, are a must-read for anyone affected by cancer.  Writers share all their experiences -- from the initial diagnosis, to breaking the news to loved ones, to discussing the effect on home, school, and work.  Stories also cover securing a medical team, living through an ever-changing self-image, the emabarrassment of losing hair, and discovering a new spirituality.

 

Plus a Bonus Book -- the inspirational frank memoir It's Just a Word by cancer patient Elizabeth Bayer.
