In 2005, Dr. William Penzer, a seasoned psychologist of more than four decades, found himself falling on his emotional face when his 31-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite having helped thousands of people navigate the choppy and challenging demands life often imposes, he was drowning in a sea of his own emotions. Like a traveler in a foreign land, which Dr. Penzer came to call Cancerville, he eventually discovered the pain-filled reality of supporting a loved one who has been diagnosed with cancer. In this groundbreaking book, he shares all the secrets of surviving and staying the course in Cancerville, helping people take better care of themselves while being fully present for their loved ones. His advice will help readers quickly adapt to Cancerville: to feel more empowered and optimistic; to rise to the challenges; and to deal with emotional down times, strengthen their minds, and communicate more effectively.

At last, the definitive guide on how to respond when someone says, I have cancer. Two-time cancer survivor Rosanne Kalick helps readers communicate caringly with the cancer patient. Many have had the gut-wrenching experience of having a friend or loved one reveal they have cancer, yet few can figure out how to react. Using real stories, Kalick conveys how much most people really want to say and do the right thing – and how they often fail. Even those in the medical profession who work with cancer are guilty of etiquette don’ts. The book is intended for patients, caregivers, family members, and friends. . . . Patients and others will find a great deal of value here. The lay-out is unadorned; there are subsection headings, but readers will have to read through t to find the nuggets. This book is long overdue. Recommended for all libraries. - Bette Lee Fox, Library Journal

Cancer touches nearly everyone, whether firsthand or through the life of a loved one. Counselor and teacher Yvonne Ortega discovered this when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and began her journey to recovery. In Hope for the Journey through Cancer, she shares with readers her personal triumphs and setbacks with humor and refreshing candor, always reminding us of God's desire to meet us exactly where we are. These sixty devotions are divided into sections--diagnosis, surgery, treatment, and recovery--each incorporating Scripture into daily life. Ortega's attention to even the most basic hopes and fears that a cancer patient faces each day offers encouragement that can come only from one who has been there herself.
