Living Through Cancer

Carolyn Humphreys

LIVING THROUGH CANCER, A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CANCER RELATED CONCERNS by Carolyn Humphreys, OCDS, OTR/L is exactly what the title suggests. It is a practical, understandable book that addresses the concerns of persons who have cancer, and those who love them, and guides them through the disease above and beyond treatment. The book summarizes the tests to expect, the treatments that are available and the hurdles to be surmounted. And then there is this question: What hidden gifts will cancer awaken in us? What a positive approach! It is also a realistic one, one that hints at the hope threading throughout the whole book and presents cancer as an opportunity to learn and grow. The reality of cancer is not sugarcoated here. Reading the book is like making the journey with a trusted friend, one who has been down this road already, one who encourages us, gives practical help and carries with her the light of faith. Cancer can open the door to faith, or draw us deeper into faith… Faith in God leads to true peace of mind. This book is full of helpful tips, from how to care for ourselves in realistic ways ( rest before becoming exhausted, find easier ways to do things. ) to suggestions on how to diminish negative thought patterns. We are advised how to think more positively, and given tools to help foster a more serene response to cancer’s trials. Stress, fear, humor and courage are addressed. Playfulness, perseverance and a host of other topics are dealt with in clear and useful ways. Resources are provided. Real life stories encourage us, and genuine inspiration flows from the pages. The operative word isn’t cancer. It is how we respond to the cancer each day.
