Cancer: It's Not A Death Sentence: The Story Of Three Family Members And Their Fight To Defeat A Deadly Disease (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781949639988)

THRIVING WITH A LIFE THREATING DISEASE

Survival doesn't have to be a patient's only goal, and feeling overwhelmed doesn't have to describe what it's like to go through treatment. Focusing on one's purpose and goals can make every day more manageable.

In a book that tells the harrowing story of his own diagnosis and treatment alongside his wife's and his eldest son's battles with a life threating disease, Ross Suozzi encourages readers to see that a "successful" treatment comes from actively plotting a positive approach to each and every day. Reflecting on his own trials and errors, he offers a step-by-step guide filled with helpful suggestions for patients facing death in the face, and those who love and care for them. Suozzi details his family's discovery that a semi-structured and thoughtful approach to daily living can do wonders when it comes to navigating the confusion, letdowns, and pains that arise during treatment. Conscientious planning can help to lower anxiety, boost overall well-being, and even make room for moments that are full of life's exuberance.

This book tackles personal and family issues that aren't often raised by medical professionals and shines a light on what matters most: experiences that give life meaning and purpose.
