Editorial Review:
Life After Cancer
I immediately wanted to recommAnd this book to my patients. [It] will serve as a roadmap to help cancer patients anticipate feelings and stages of the coping process. It will help demystify the complex and often baffling set of experiences on the uncertain path of cancer survivorship.
--Elisabeth Targ, M.D., Geraldine Brush Cancer Research Institute, California Pacific Medical Center
An intimate and inspiring account of the authors' real-life experiences of surviving cancer. The authors provide a straightforward account of what life is like after the whirlwind of doctors' visits and radical treatments comes to an And.

Rating: - Helpful even for patients AND caregivers in the thick of a cancer battle
My mother and I read this book together as she sat in the hospital getting a blood transfusion. It articulated what we thought was an experience somewhat unique to us. Turns out there are universal experiences in this life. :) My mother has been dealing with a 6 year protracted battle with ovarian cancer (stage III diagnosis) and has had 3 recurrences. The psychological landscape described was sadly familiar and consequently reassuring. As a caregiver it was particularly transforming: I loved the ... Read More
Rating: - Waiting for your old life to return?
Honest talk about the aftermath of cancer treatment when every one expects you to return to 'normal.'
If you are wondering when you will feel normal again, or when you can go back to your old self, this book is for you. The cancer experience is something that most people just don't understand, even close family and friends unless they too have gone though what we have (even if they were right there beside you). These authors are the real deal, been through the 'war' and will discuss ... Read More
Rating:  - you are not alone
many of the feelings that I though were unique to me about my cancer, aren't unique at all. I started highlighting each sentence that applied to me. I was shocked at how much was highlighted. It doesn't matter that these women are describing a completely different cancer than mine...the emotions were the same
Rating: - So true!
This should be in every dr.'s office for a surviving cancer patient.
All the denial you have comes flooding over you & you see the real truth.
It's so good to know you're not alone. Even though you've survived & you don't think you have any issues, you really do under all the bravado. I read it in 1 sitting. The authors are very forthcoming in all they discuss, & are survivors themselvs so they know what they are talking about.
Rating: - A great guide to life after cancer
I'm finding lots of answers to the many questions I have after finishing chemo for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Even family members would find this book helpful too. It's reassuring, honest and comforting reading about getting back to "life" after such a life changing event.
