Wisdom From Cancer Caregivers Journey: Lessons Learned (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798986148519)

Cancer Caregivers Journey: Lessons Learned takes the reader on a deep introspective, and at times a very intimate journey through several dynamic twist and turns that cancer commonly posses on the patient and at the same time the caregivers. Dr. Richard Farmer gathered six cancer caregivers from around the country to share their fears, pains, confusion, and most importantly triumphs as they chronicle their personal reflections on navigating the providing of help and services to their cancer patients, typically a spouse or other family member. Rarely will anyone discuss the highs and lows of providing critical services to their cancer patients as they discuss their processes for delivering the services so critical to short-and long-term health of their family cancer victims. Finally, these cancer caregivers will walk the reader through the patients receiving the initial diagnosis, strategizing with the oncology physician, sitting aside the patient through chemo treatment, and figuring out how to potentially say goodbye to a family member whom they know and loved. This is a must read for anyone desiring the inside story of helping patients who are experiencing the biggest fight of their life. We congratulate Richard Farmer, Cindy Bowden, Linda Devine, Diane Linick, Betsey Hapner, Sonja "Skyp" McCaughey, Charlie Shockey, and David Persky, all who poured their soul into this amazing project that informs and empowers the world.
