Keith Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I would very much like to help the people around me as I go through this cancer process. I watch them struggle with it on a daily basis. Any input on books/web sites or other sources that speak to how the family of cancer patients can better cope and manage through the entirety of the process would be greatly appreciated.

Guest DaveG Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Books: LOVE, MEDICINE, & MIRACLES - Bernie S. Siegel, MD, (Harper & Row) Dave Pelzner also has authored many books on how to deal with crisis. 100 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT LUNG CANCER - Karen Parles, MLS, and Joan H. Schiller, MD (Can be obtained through ALCASE at http://www.alcase.org) One othe book I can recommend is FINAL GIFTS, unfortunately I do not have the authors of this book. There are many, many more books out there on cancer, some specific for lung cancer. Visit you local librarary or book store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DianeP Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi Keith, "Lung Cancer: Myths, Facts, Choices--and Hope", I bought this book for my parents. We all found it very helpful, especially the patient insights found within the chapters. Here is a link from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 65-0108144 Hope this helps!!

luluc Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 The absolutely BEST motivation book is THE CANCER CONQUEROR by GREG ANDERSON.. He has several others out,too. This one is a true story. Uplifting and inspiring. It may be a little harder to find. I found one at Barnes and Noble. The author of Final Gifts is Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley.

Keith Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Thank you for the input. This is exactly why this board works. The quick, caring responses. I would much rather take a book recommended over a possible found through hours of research. I thank you again for my family. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cheryl- Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Keith, I continue to re-read "Chicken Soup for the Surviving Soul." It helps provide me with hope and courage. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Ok, just want to get my 2 cents in here! As others have said, the Bernie Siegel books are great. Someone gave them to us as a box set of tapes (3 books). It was great, we listened to them in the car on the way to treatments, etc. They are wonderful on tape because he is so calming and reassuring to listen to. All the best to you.
