How to Cope Better When Someone You Love Has Cancer

I have written the book I needed to read that difficult day at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center. It was the day my daughter’s treatment for breast cancer began. This book is a guide to your adapting and coping with your loved one being in Cancerville. I know the lay of the Cancerville land quite well. Together, side-by-side, you and I will walk the Cancerville beat like a pair of tough street cops in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Drawing upon and empowering all of your strength, I will help you get through this challenging obstacle course, making sure to take care of yourself while supporting your loved one.

How to Cope Better When You Have Cancer

I gave Susan, who had recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, a draft of the first eight chapters of How to Cope Better When Someone You Love Has Cancer. After she told me how helpful my words were to her, though written for family and friends, I realized that with some modifications, they could be as helpful to you, the patient. I am confident that my words will empower you to rise courageously to the challenges of Cancerville.
