Renewal
This award-winning book is a rare offering: practical help for people contending with cancer as well as advice for their families. It is based upon personal stories from a cancer support group meeting in one community for over 25 years. It is about questioning conventional wisdom, setting goals, testing limits, and discovery of unknown courage and resilience.
Read these testimonials from the new book, Renewal - Finding your path to self-healing in cancer, about a support group for cancer patients interested in renewing their lives:
-
"This book, with its focus on how cancer patients can usefully benefit from each others' experience in group meetings, will appeal to those diagnosed with cancer, to their families and friends, to their doctors and other health care providers, and to those who would like to start a successful support group. I know. I was there."
-John B., a Renewal member -
"I was touched about how much warmth the Renewal members had and what a positive outlook each person had with regard to their future."
-Rebecca M., Renewal member -
"I went to Renewal with my father and sat next to an older man who could have been my grandfather. When my father introduced himself to the group and started talking about himself, I began to cry. The older man put his arm around me and whispered, 'Don't cry now that he is alive. Enjoy him, laugh, have fun with him---cry later.'"
-Clara B., a young physician visitor to Renewal
