Discovering Life in a Deadly Place

Unfortunately, in this day and time, we are all touched by cancer – oneself, a loved one, a friend and/or a coworker. The day I received my diagnosis, I was afraid, shocked, confused, angry, and disappointed. How did this happen? How did I get cancer? What would happen to my family? What would people remember about me? I had a lot of questions and I wasn’t sure what to tell people. Being diagnosed with cancer reawakened a part of me that had been lulled to sleep by the pain of my past. I didn’t like the treatment, yet I was thankful for the journey. I met a lot of great people and learned I lot along the way. Whether I lived or died, I learned to appreciate each moment of every day of my life. I began to live differently, love differently and enjoy life. How Cancer Saved My Life is about the impact cancer had on my life, emotionally, spiritually, and physically – the good and the bad, joys and sorrows. It’s also about ways to care for family and friends diagnosed with cancer.
