Navigating your Cancer Journey is a book that dares to understand the unique challenges that exist for cancer patients and caregivers at home, during treatment. This book was written by an oncology nurse navigator to empower cancer patients and caregivers with knowledge on topics like: • Financial Resources • Exercise and the Cancer Patient • Nutrition • Complementary and Alternative Therapies • Clinical Trials • Self Help • Cancer Medications • Medical Insurance • What is Cancer Anyway? • Cancer and Sexuality • End of Life Counseling • Care for the Caregivers • How to travel with cancer • Survivorship and more… The compassion and understanding with which Marais writes feels like a warm, calming hug from a beloved best friend. Her obvious and refreshing belief in the power of the patient takes center stage and is solidified through eloquently penned patient stories that bring home the message: You are not alone. Marais is a natural writer whose descriptions gently move the reader from one vivid landscape to another with ease and grace. We sincerely hope she continues to put pen to paper!

"You have cancer." The words hit M. A. Levings hard. She later wondered if the nurse could perhaps have couched the news in gentler language. But no-there is no good way to deliver a cancer diagnosis. For Levings, her diagnosis launched a frightening journey that is familiar to all cancer patients. Fear and denial dominated her early emotions, coupled with a deep need for a second opinion. As these feelings began to subside, she realized she was about to make the most important decisions of her life. The medical options she chose-and her attitude-would determine her treatment outcome. She had to decide what mattered most to her and focus on that. What Matters Most: Navigating Your Cancer Diagnosis and Beyond is a short, honest, ultimately uplifting account of the author's experiences as a cancer patient, describing how she answered the questions all cancer patients must ask-from selecting the appropriate cancer treatment facility to determining therapy options that are right for you. Taking an active role in your own treatment gives you the focus you need to get through your personal cancer journey. With sensitivity and insight, Levings shows you how she handled this deeply personal process.

Kelley Skoloda was the healthiest person she knew—until the day she became a cancer patient. During her first, routine colonoscopy—without having experienced any symptoms—Kelley received a shocking diagnosis: colon cancer. Based on the true story of her subsequent cancer journey, A Way Back to Health reveals how surprising lessons paved the way for her recovery, shares helpful action steps for those who find themselves in a similar situation, and illuminates how personal stories can powerfully motivate and heal. In addition to telling her own story, Kelley also features examples of how other, amazing survivors have learned to manage, survive and thrive in the face of cancer. She also explores how often overlooked actions, such as trusting your instincts, speaking up, getting a second opinion, and watching for miracles, can have a profound impact on recovery—lessons meant to help patients advocate for themselves and help friends, family, and caregivers as they wrestle with cancer and its treatment. Much more prevalent than COVID-19, cancer will affect one in three people directly, and many more indirectly, in their lifetime. A Way Back to Health, with its real-life stories and unexpected lessons, is a helpful and relatable guide to the most important information you need to know about cancer—for the time you need it most.
