Peace With Cancer

Millions of us are living in the shadow of cancer. Some are hoping to beat the odds and become cancer-free, while others know they are facing cancer for the long haul. And even more of us are standing by someone with a cancer diagnosis and feeling helpless as we grapple with the uncertainty it brings. Whether the cancer is considered "in remission," "cured," or "chronic," it is possible to find peace as we face it. In this beautiful, giftable book, cancer patient advocate Lynn Eib shares how to live well from the moment of diagnosis through the rest of life. She weaves the story of her own experience as a long-time cancer survivor and those of others around the world into these hope-filled pages. You'll discover how to bring God's peace into your own home and heart--regardless of your or your loved one's medical prognosis. (Deluxe LeatherLike binding.)

A Franciscan priest recounts his experience of living with peace while suffering with cancer.

The oncology intern looked at me with compassion. "Our scans show the cancer has spread. That means it is metastatic and it's incurable."

This book is not a scholarly piece of work. In no way, is it meant to be an academic text. On the contrary, this essay is an account of my parents' cancer diagnosis, treatment, fight and how I dealt with it. In addition to documenting some circumstances, which were related to their illness, and how I reacted to them, my wish is for this literature to positively touch the life of at least one person, who experienced the horrors that I did, when I learned that my parents had become cancer patients, and to provide some sort of hope and peace of mind to the aforementioned individual. Accordingly, my intention for this book is to serve the following two purposes: 1. To keep a record of an important phase in the lives of my parents and myself and 2. To help other individuals who may be or may have been in a similar situation as we were.

Cancer. It is a word no one wants to hear when sitting in a doctor's office or from a loved one during a phone conversation. It is a word so prevalent in our society today. I don't think there is anyone who has not been personally touched by this word, this disease, this diagnosis. This book is not a "how-to" guide regarding cancer. You won't find resources for the best doctors, the latest research, diet/nutrition, or even statistics about outcomes regarding the specific type of cancer that has entered your world. Instead, this book offers the comfort of 11 different men and women who have been personally touched by this diagnosis and have found peace despite the pain. This book is not written solely from the standpoint of people who have experienced cancer personally - there are many chapters written by wives, daughters-in-law, and children, sharing how their loved ones fought valiantly and how close and personal God was during the journey. Join me between these pages as you read firsthand, from the individuals or their loved ones, how God showed up in every situation. He took what the enemy meant for evil (pain) and replaced it with His perfect peace.
