Book Description

Lessons Learned October 2002
A remarkable and inspiring book of hope, help, encouragement, and advice for cancer patients and their friends and families. It is not written by Doctors, it comes straight from the hearts and homes of real families that have reached down and found new will and new ways to effectively fight this battle together.

Each year cancer’s shadow touches a million new families, but those are just the statistics. There is a compelling story behind every statistic, and in those stories are priceless insights and powerful lessons for every family battling this disease. Some of the most inspiring and practical are featured in the pages of this book.

Each vignette (there are approximately 200 in all) averages less than 200 words, but each provides an immediately useful insight, suggestion or lesson drawn from the personal experiences of a family that has already met and dealt with cancer. These vignettes are different from each other in many ways but the overall message of the book is consistent, powerful and hopeful: "If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, be assured that you are never fighting alone. Cancer is strong, but when all of us combine our love, support, energy, faith and experience, we are always stronger."

This review is from: Stronger Than Cancer: Treasured Insights from the Hearts and Homes of Families Fighting Cancer (Lessons Learned) (Hardcover)
Whether you're a caregiver, cancer patient, family member, coworker or friend, this powerful little book is a fear banisher for anyone engaged in the battle to defeat cancer. Hundreds of warriors and survivors display mighty strands of support to construct a web of strength to lend the reader. Good palliative medicine in doses small enough to be well tolerated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stronger than Cancer, November 9, 2006
This review is from: Stronger Than Cancer: Treasured Insights from the Hearts and Homes of Families Fighting Cancer (Lessons Learned) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book if you know anyone who is fighting cancer or a family member who is supporting someone fighting cancer. The stories were short but very to the point and insightful. Anyone fighting cancer can identify with this book. I sent the book to someone with breast cancer and she had her family read it and they write messages on the mirror in the morning from the book to help her get thru the day.
