As she faced a future of treatment, surgery, and uncertainty upon her diagnosis with Breast Cancer aged 31, Claire turned to creativity for its healing powers. Finding strength in words and pictures alike, the young woman started a creative journal which became an outlet as each day brought new physical and emotional challenges. Through vibrant sketches that documented this difficult time paired with affirming captions alongside them; Claire found solace in art form during her journey toward recovery. Claire's journey through 2022 has been beautifully documented in her sketchbook, an artwork all on its own. This powerful piece captures the struggles of cancer and how it affects day-to-day life and those moments we can all relate to. Her sketches offer a unique perspective that words alone could never express - come join Claire on this remarkable adventure. She has created a unique way of sharing her experiences with cancer, by creating art that provide an insightful and honest look into the day-to-day aspects of her life that many of us can relate to. She allows her readers to better understand her journey and how she has managed it by using pictures in place of words. These images allow us to connect with her on a much deeper level, since they are far more expressive than any amount of words ever could be. The beauty in these paintings not only helps give a greater understanding of Claire's story, but also shines a light on the everyday moments we often take for granted. Through her pictures, Claire opens a beautiful window for us - offering us an intimate glance into all she is going through with grace and strength. C is more than a letter--it's a symbol of courage, strength, and hope that one brave soul named Claire embodied while fighting cancer. With artistry, she created 'A Year With C' to honour her journey - but its impact reaches far beyond her own story; it provides support for friends, family members, or total strangers who need an extra dose of inspiration in their lives. This book will remain as evidence long into the future: there truly is power in living with heart! 31% of the profits will be donated to Breast Cancer Care to represent the 31 women who die each day from secondary breast cancer.

'In this highly readable book about a personal way of dealing with potentially life-threatening illness, we follow author, broadcaster and acclaimed poet Myra Schneider through her journey from diagnosis to recovery from breast cancer. One of the book's special gifts is to make us feel we are engaged in an absorbing conversation with a friend, a friend who is full of courage, sensitivity and hope, but manages at the same time to be completely honest about the terror, anger and times of darkness that such a diagnosis brings.' - Caduceus 'Although, as its title suggests, this book concentrates on writing for cancer sufferers, its advice is equally valid for people suffering from other problems, whether physical, emotional or practical. It shows the empowering effect of writing; how it can help to make sense when the world chaotic; how it can keep you focused when your life is falling apart. This is an inspiring read, made so by the author's frankness, warmth and honesty, which breathe through the pages.' - Writing Magazine 'Reading someone else's journal is so engaging; When that person is a poet and has experienced a life threatening illness, the reading becomes inspiring. Myra Schneider is not only a poet and author but also a teacher. Her guide lines for therapeutic writing are clear and had me reaching for a pen. It would be a very valuable book for most clients who have been, or are going through, illness or any difficult experience, to try the visualisations and writing ideas. These, and the whole book, would be extremely useful for therapists working in any setting. Buy it!' - HCPJ 'Myra, an established poet and author of a handbook on writing for personal development, clearly found her writing enormously supportive throughout the cancer experience. She clearly and simply offers exercises and routes to self-expression and exploration.' - The British Journal of General Practice 'In this moving account [Myra Schneider] tackles with endearing honesty her personal experience of breast cancer. Myra takes us from diagnosis through the long painful route to recovery by developing the journal she decided to keep through her experiences. By sharing her journal with us, Myra has provided a window onto an experience which many people, finding themselves in a similar situation, will take comfort and inspiration from.' - Lapidus Magazine 'While this book provides an intimate portrayal of the author's experience of breast cancer, the writing is often humorous and ultimately uplifting. It will be of interest to people with breast cancer and to those supporting them, and to health professionals for the psychological insights offered.' - Breast Cancer Care News Diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2000, poet and author Myra Schneider turned to her writing to help her come to terms with the experience. In this thoughtful and readable book, she illustrates how writing helped her through diagnosis, treatment and recovery as well as the change in self-image following her mastectomy. In her frank expression of intense fear, anger and doubt, Myra Schneider includes notes and finished poems written during her period of recovery. She also offers practical support in the form of therapeutic writing suggestions for cancer sufferers, whether they are experienced authors or have never written before. Bringing together an unsparing but ultimately uplifting first-hand account of life with cancer and advice about writing as therapy, this engaging and positive book shows the benefits of expressing the self through writing. It will provide inspiration and support to anyone affected by cancer and useful insight for professionals involved in the care of cancer patients.

When Diana Ballinger was diagnosed with breast cancer, she had no idea what lay ahead. The surgery, crippling side-effects of chemo and radiation, and the emotions that threatened to boil over pushed her to write for her life.

She dealt with the disfigurement, loss of employment and the travails of insurance by writing poetry. Ballinger knew she was more than her breast cancer. She wanted her daughter to have a normal life while she underwent treatment and she was determined to make that happen. What she didn't expect, is how much her daughter would help her. "Fighting My Way Through Breast Cancer With Poetry" takes the reader step by step through her journey. It is her first book. Ballinger lives in California with her husband, Dick and her 16 yr. old daughter, Ashley, and celebrated her 1 yr. anniversary as a survivor in Feb. 2009.

Cancer and Creativity is a dialogue between accounts by cancer patients and survivors and a more clinical consideration and theoretical discussion from a psychoanalytic point of view of using creativity in coping with serious illness. The contributions featured demonstrate the power of creative expression as a tool for dealing with somatic, chronic and potentially life-threatening illnesses, giving patients a way of expressing and managing their individual cancer journeys and its attendant emotional sequelae. Ten artist-patients and survivors, who were involved in several long-term art therapy groups, give accounts of their experiences with cancer and with their support group, where they create paintings, embroidery, digital photography, comic books, maps and other works to express their experiences of being diagnosed and treated for cancer. The contributors describe their symptoms and their relationships to physicians and family members in words and visual representations. The book also addresses the experience of the public when they are confronted with art by cancer patients. Dreifuss-Kattan's own work as a psychoanalyst and art therapist informs her approach to the art space as what Winnicott calls a "transitional space," influenced by both the personal psychological experience and the physical environment. Dreifuss-Kattan closes her discussion with a reflection on terminal cancer care and the complex transferential and countertransferential relationship between patient and therapist. The book ends with a practical guide for both therapy groups, as well as individuals at home, to creatively address their experiences with cancer and its treatments. Cancer and Creativity will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, psychooncologists and art therapists, as well as health professionals working in oncology and in palliative care.

"Path Through the Fire vividly affirms how creative expression becomes an intimate partner and helper during periods of crisis and uncertainty, when we are on the edge of survival and need the most personal medicines to transform an illness into affirmations of life. I can only explain this as art's angelic function through which expression comes and goes in the most difficult of times. Wendy Wheeler offers everyone a terse account of the spontaneous use of art as a soul medicine. This is the type of outcome study and patient satisfaction story that will gently help to transform medicine itself." Cover.
