When Cancer Strikes - eBook
What You Need to Know, Do and Say When You or a Loved One Is Diagnosed with Cancer
It’s inevitable.
Cancer will touch your life in some way, whether it’s as a direct diagnosis or by learning that someone you know has been given the news that they are now dealing with cancer.
As a society we tend to walk through life with an “It’s not going to happen to me” attitude in many areas. Cancer is one of them. So what do you do when you learn that you can no longer live in the land of denial?
How do you handle learning that someone you love is now going to face the cancer battle and all it entails?
The reality is that cancer can strike anyone, not just those who seem to have “high risk factors”.
It can be you; it can be your spouse, your mother, your sister or your best friend. It doesn’t discriminate, and it’s ugly.
