Dear Cancer is a book of inspiration and comfort that will make the reader laugh, cry and see adversity in a new light. The author shares her true story of living with Stage IV breast cancer from the shock of diagnoses to the rigors of chemotherapy and other treatments.
Written with honesty, sensitivity and humor, Dear Cancer will support and encourage anyone who is confronted by cancer, or any life-challenging illness. It touches every emotion from extreme sadness and rage, to joy and gratitude
The author, Laura Parisi King, who I met on the Young Survival Coalition website is a licensed master social worker. Laura was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in October of 2002.
An excerpt from her book...
Dear Cancer,
You have tried to break my spirit.
Yet because of you I am more spiritual than ever before.
You have tried to shake my faith.
Yet my faith is strong than ever.
You have tried to upset my relationships.
Yet they continue to flourish in spite of you.
You have tried to turn my life upside down.
ok, you got me on that one.
