Like many other individuals, when I was first diagnosed with cancer I struggled to deal with my diagnosis. My first inclination was to learn as much as I could. I scanned and read dozens of books in search of the proper balance of information, guidance, inspiration and hope. But in the end, I found myself exasperated by the fact that nothing seemed to fill my needs. When a physician recommended that I write a book about my battle with cancer, I remembered that hopeless feeling I had experienced. I was struck by the fact that I may be able to provide some positive insights to help others as they battle cancer themselves or make the journey with someone they care about. My hope is that you find the inspiration you are looking for in this book.
