Voices of Cancer
Nonfiction
Published as Lynda Wolters
"I don't know what to say" and "I don't know what to do" are common responses to a life-threatening diagnosis. Voices of Cancer is here to help.
Voices of Cancer offers a candid look into the world of a cancer patient, informed by Lynda’s own story and conversations with dozens of patients about their needs, wants, and dislikes as they navigate the complex world of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. With comprehensive and accessible insight from people who’ve been there, Voices of Cancer helps educate, dispel fears, and start positive conversations about what a cancer diagnosis truly means, while shining a light on how best to support a loved one on their own terms.
I recommend this book to anyone close to someone who has been affected by cancer as well as the survivors themselves. Together we can do better to pay attention, work hard, and find a cure. ~Amazon Reviewer, B. Ball
A true and honest account of how cancer changes the lives of those who are diagnosed and also everyone around them. A wonderfully helpful resource for survivors, medical staff, families and friends of cancer patients. ~Laura DiGiambattista (cancer survivor)
I loved this book as it closely paralleled not only my experiences with diagnosis and treatment, but also my feelings and interpretation of the experiences. I feel like I could have written these words!~Amazon Reviewer, RG72
