Exploring the unsayable thoughts, needs,
and desires of people diagnosed with cancer, this book features real-life
experiences and what people with cancer endure every day.
Voices
of Cancer is a realistic glimpse into the life of a
cancer patient, based on Lynda's personal experience being diagnosed with stage
4 mantle cell lymphoma and her talks with numerous other patients regarding
their unique experiences, expectations, hopes and fears as they try to cope with
the terrifying stages of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. The author explores
the perspectives of both the cancer patient and those with whom the patient
comes into contact in each section, a well-thought approach that allows the
reader to fully appreciate each subject covered in the book. And, as a good
follow-up to this strategy, she includes recommendations and reminders for both
patients and their loved ones at the end of the book! She also includes an
excellent piece on cancer terminology that is well worth reading. The book
touches upon several areas that are hardly ever spoken about such as the loss
or change of intimacy in a relationship due to cancer.
The
Voices of Cancer is a rich and enlightening, deeply
moving book that is fraught with information on cancer. The author has a unique
ability to capture inner worlds of people afflicted by the disease and provides
insights that will inspire the right attitude of mind in both cancer patients
and those close to them. To borrow Lynda's terminology, this is a fantastic
resource for both patients and non-patients, a highly recommended book for
anyone who wants to know what it is like to live with cancer and how to endure,
in spite of the odds. The writing is effortless and accessible and the
compassionate voice will hit home to a wider audience.
