 When I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's, I struggled to deal with my diagnosis. My first inclination was to learn more about the cancer growing inside of me. Being an avid reader, it made sense that I would turn to a bookstore to find answers to my questions and to look for hope and encouragement as I embarked on my journey. When I entered the bookstore, I navigated my way to the cancer section. I opened dozens of books looking for the proper balance of information, guidance, inspiration, and hope. It seemed that I stood (and then sat) for close to an hour, 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 in the bookstore. I was struck by the fact that, maybe, I could provide some positive insights that might help others as they battle cancer themselves or make the journey with someone they care about. "On the Other Side: The Journey of a Cancer Survivor" is designed to: 1. Enlighten cancer patients on the journey they will take
2. Help supporters gain the perspective of a cancer patient
3. Offer sound advice for health care professionals, by providing a layman's experience Each chapter in this book begins with an inspirational quote that embodies the contents of the chapter. At the conclusion of the chapter, there is one key insight that is provided to the reader to reinforce what they just read. "On the Other Side" is available at Whiskey Creek Press's website.
