If lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, what are the odds that cancer would strike David Yates three times – and he would survive? David Yates survived serving military duty in Vietnam, only to come home and find out that he had cancer – malignant melanoma, to be exact. After surgery and recovery time, he was finally getting back on his feet when the cancer returned less than two years later. Surgery and treatment again followed, and David was back into his life – changed, but still moving forward. More than three decades later, David found himself receiving the news of a cancer diagnosis for the third time. Cancer Sucks – A True Story is David’s story. From the moment of that third diagnosis – this time for colon cancer – David was determined to see this through to its completion. He hadn’t let cancer beat him in the past, and it wouldn’t beat him this time, either.

Filled not only with personal stories, but also first-hand accounts of what to expect when going through treatments, David’s story becomes a new kind of handbook for cancer patients. With practical and frank advice, David not only explains how he has made it through, but he urges us all to pay more attention to our bodies and to take our health into our own hands.

There is nothing humorous about breast cancer. Once you orsomeone close to you has contracted this hideous disease itwill affect the way you feel about many things for the rest ofyour life.Boobs are powerful things, no matter how much you try todownplay them to someone who has had a mastectomy. Guyscould go without noticing that a woman is missing an arm ifshe has a healthy cleavage and a low-cut top, and speaking fromfirst-hand experience, he could also fail to notice that the car infront of him has come to a stop.Breast cancer is serious. However, when you have reachedphysical and mental limits and you have to laugh or cry, andyou are not the crying type, then there is only one thing left todo, no matter how inappropriate it may seem.This is the true story of how one man dealt with his wifesbreast cancer using a somewhat twisted sense of humour tohelp him through this harrowing ordeal. Sometimes he pokesfun at hospitals, doctors, even himself and sometimes he writesabout something else entirely to distract you from the subject.The humour is dry, the sarcasm dripping, but the cancer is alltoo real. This story is not for everyone but it was never meant

Let's face it, cancer sucks. This book provides real-life advice from real-life teens designed to help teens live with a parent who is fighting cancer. One million American teenagers live with a parent who is fighting cancer. It's a hard blow for those already navigating high school, preparing for college, and becoming increasingly independent. Author Maya Silver was 15 when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. She and her dad, Marc, have combined their family's personal experience with advice from dozens of medical professionals and real stories from 100 teens—all going through the same thing Maya did. The topic of cancer can be difficult to approach, but in a highly designed, engaging style, this book gives practical guidance that includes: How to talk about the diagnosis (and what does diagnosis even mean, anyway?) The best outlets for stress (punching a wall is not a great one, but should it happen, there are instructions for a patch job) How to deal with friends (especially one the ones with 'pity eyes') Whether to tell the teachers and guidance counselors and what they should know (how not to get embarrassed in class) What happens in a therapy session and how to find a support group if you want one A special section for parents also gives tips on strategies for sharing the news and explaining cancer to a child, making sure your child doesn't become the parent, what to do if the outlook is grim, and tips for how to live life after cancer. My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks allows teens to see that they are not alone. That no matter how rough things get, they will get through this difficult time. That everything they're feeling is ok. Essays from Gilda Radner's "Gilda's Club" annual contest are an especially poignant and moving testimony of how other teens dealt with their family's situation. Praise for My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks: "Wisely crafted into a wonderfully warm, engaging and informative book that reads like a chat with a group of friends with helpful advice from the experts." —Paula K. Rauch MD, Director of the Marjorie E. Korff Parenting At a Challenging Time Program "A must read for parents, kids, teachers and medical staff who know anyone with cancer. You will learn something on every page." —Anna Gottlieb, MPA, Founder and CEO Gilda's Club Seattle "This book is a 'must have' for oncologists, cancer treatment centers and families with teenagers." —Kathleen McCue, MA, LSW, CCLS, Director of the Children's Program at The Gathering Place, Cleveland, OH "My Parent Has Cancer and It Really Sucks provides a much-needed toolkit for teens coping with a parent's cancer." —Jane Saccaro, CEO of Camp Kesem, a camp for children who have a parent with cancer

There are only a handful of exceedingly rare diseases whose diagnoses can engender as much fear and anxiety as the diagnosis of cancer. The word malignancy alone is so pervasively menacing as to conjure the image of a malevolent being crawling through a loved ones body or the darkest of poisons seeping through their veins. Dr. Shane Dormady, from the foreword 52 Days: The Cancer Journal is the true story of one womans heroic battle with a rare and aggressive cancer that persistently sought to take her life and left her in a coma for nearly two weeks. This awe-inspiring narrative is told through the eyes of her son-in-law who fastidiously documented the emotional stages that the cancer patient and her loved ones navigated; disbelief, helplessness, despair, fear, and sometimes, even hope. 52 Days: The Cancer Journal is a must read for anyone who has been touched by cancers pervasive reach and especially for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer and is fighting for his or her life.

“What kind of cancer is it?” was the first question Barbara Brenner asked her doctor after hearing that the lump in her breast was malignant. His answer: “You don't need to know that.” Wrong response. Brenner, who was already an activist, made knowing her business and spreading knowledge her mission. The power behind Breast Cancer Action and its transformative Think Before You Pink® campaign, Barbara Brenner brought an abundance of wit, courage, and clarity to the cause and forever changed the conversation. What had been construed as an individual crisis could now be seen for what it was: a pressing concern of public health and social justice, with environmental issues at the center of prevention efforts. Collected in So Much to Be Done, and framed by personal accounts of Barbara and her influential work, Brenner’s columns and blog posts form a chronicle of breast cancer research and health care activism that is as inspiring as it is informative. As she takes on the corporate forces at work in breast cancer research and treatment and in the “pinkwashing” of fund-raising for the cause, Brenner, a self-described hell-raiser, contends with cancer herself, twice, and her words offer understanding and encouragement to all those whose lives are touched by the disease. When Brenner was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, she broadened her critique of health care while also writing about her own experience. Infused with her characteristic moxie, humor, anger, and compassion, these reflections from her last two years provide an in-depth, precisely observed portrayal of what it is to live with a terminal disease and to die on one’s own terms.

This incisive and thoughtful new title in the Theatre And series confronts the difficult relationship between theatre and cancer. It explores representations of cancer in fictional worlds and autobiographical performances while also highlighting work that reimagines and reinvigorates the genre of 'Cancer Performance'. Challenging conventional narratives which rely on the binary of tragedy versus survival, Brian Lobel argues for an alternative approach to understanding cancer in relation to theatre. Concise yet thought-provoking, this book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of theatre, performance and disability studies.
