One out of eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer. What many breast cancer patients don't open up about, read about, or discuss are the fearful moments, the angry moments, and the sometimes funny moments that women experience, beginning with that first scary doctor's appointment. Freezing-cold mammograms that flatten breasts like two fried eggs. Crushing loneliness. Nightmares about confronting mortality. But in Dancing with Breast Cancer, Janay Cosner gets real about her journey with the disease. Through a series of poems, Cosner opens up and shares her experience. Each poem is a snapshot of her odyssey. What does it mean to be a survivor, these poems ask. What does it mean to be a warrior? From diagnosis and surgery to chemotherapy and radiation to what is now her new normal, Cosner asks all her readers-patients, family members, friends, doctors, nurses-to join her in a raw and very real dance with cancer. My head high, I shout, I'm alive. My shoes start to dance again to the rhythm of life. Come dance with me. Praise for Dancing with Breast Cancer Every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer will relate to the emotions, the drudgery, and the multiple steps they take while "dancing" with cancer. As a medical oncologist, I have treated many women with breast cancer. However, I never knew how they really felt till I read Janay's poems. They speak to me of the patients' pain, loss, fear, and daily struggles as well the hope of a future when they will be able to dance again with their partners and not with cancer. Ms. Cosner bares her soul so that we (the healthcare providers) can be better prepared to care for the "person" and not just the "cancer." --Khalid Rehman, MD, FACP, medical oncologist and assistant professor of medicine at The New York Medical College What's most impressive about Janay Cosner's Dancing with Breast Cancer is her gutsy willingness to relive her ordeal from the first suspicious mammogram, through the traumas of treatment, to a wary recovery. Cosner has chosen poetry as the medium for her memoir, a choice that allows her to move swiftly yet with detail through the shifting phases of her illness, and all the accompanying emotions from horror and terror to humor and hope. Cosner is no sit-back survivor. She's a savvy, sexy lady doing a defiant dance--a dance many women will recognize--a dance that will be eye-opening for everyone else. --Joan Murray, author of Swimming for the Ark Can there be beauty in pain? Only if it is poetry, and only when the poet touches your aching heart. Janay, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer, yearns to be treated like a person. She exposes her fears, frustration, and fighting spirit as she dances with fate. With a poem for each stage of her journey, she dances to a new tune, culminating in a symphony of shock, agony, anger, resolve, and regrets. Her poems are a window into a woman's heart, her suffering, and her remarkable poise under duress. This book is for women with breast cancer, for Janay knows just how they feel; it is for all women, with or without cancer, for she reveals what it is like to suffer; and it is a book for caregivers, for it shows the pathway to treating a patient as a person and not just a case study. This is a book of hope. --Sabeeha Rehman, author of Threading My Prayer Rug: One Woman's Journey from Pakistani Muslim to American Muslim

Combining the personal and the practical, this book mixes the author’s own cancer story with the tools she discovered and adapted to support her treatment. The wisdom and knowledge that Judy has learned from her experience with cancer can be our guide and coach.' - Bernie Siegel MD, Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and The Art of Healing. Dancing with Cancer focuses on the creation of a positive and proactive mindset with which to face the specific challenges and stages of cancer. It combines the author’s own experience of using what she calls Thought Work (including creative self-expression, healing energy work and meditation) with conventional cancer treatment in order to connect her intentions for healing to the everyday reality of a diagnosis of incurable bone-marrow cancer. The book offers guidance and inspiration not only to cancer sufferers as they undergo the various stages of treatment but also to those supporting them, enabling them to understand better the experience of the cancer patient as well as the possibilities of mind–body empowerment. Part I allows the reader to gain inspiration and reassurance from Judy’s personal cancer story, as well as put into practice her Thought Work suggestions, which include revelatory questionnaires and journaling, creative exercises (such as drawing healing mandalas) and guided meditations. Part II gives a more detailed description of the Thought Work tools, including instructions for setting healing intentions, for using mindful breathing and for cultivating an attitude of gratitude, as well as meditations for a range of cancer situations and step-by-step instructions for creating artworks. Throughout the book are examples of Judy’s own transformative artworks, which she offers along with the reminder that any creative self-expression can be healing – it is not the outcome but the physical process of doing that matters, enabling multi-level transformation.

Diana had never been ill and on diagnosis she stepped into a parallel world of waiting rooms, treatments, friends and family who supported - or fled - as life became both exquisitely precious and terrible. Dancing with Cancer is a human drama, a ride on the roller coaster of hope and despair and, as the gradients became gentler, a journey through meditation and creativity to wisdom and acceptance.

How one person self-advocated through metastatic cancer treatment in conventional, alternative, and integrative care. This book teaches the steps and the mindset to maximize your chances of being a cancer survivor for as long as possible. Included in this story are over one-hundred pages of tips and resources to give you the ability to make this happen. "According to my oncologist, only 0.01 percent of patients would be alive after what I have gone through. I'm here, in no small part, because of luck. But it's also because of years of curiosity, research, open-mindedness, patience, and self-advocacy." I've written this for you, your caretakers, your support team, and whomever else you would find it valuable to share with.

It all started as an easier way to answer all the e-mails expressing concern and asking questions about her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. When Loui Tucker tired of typing the same responses or copying the same paragraphs, she started writing and sending one e-mail update per week, every Sunday night for almost ten months. Those weekly essays became a real-time journey shared by hundreds of readers. While writing about the physical problems associated with cancer treatment, she educated them about drug therapies and their side effects, mammograms, and alternative medicine. More importantly, she opened a window into her heart and soul, and let others learn the lessons, find the humor, and savor the victories along the way. This isn't a book about surviving cancer. It's about thriving. It's a book written with candor, forthrightness, and conviction. It's a book about cancer that's inspirational, compelling, joyful, and intensely honest.

The presence of cancer cells that is now called a disease does not just grow overnight. Chemotherapy alone cannot cure the disease either - my mother believed these too. She once pacified a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis and defied the odds as her disease went into remission. A strength based model, specifically the psychological process of family resilience became a guiding framework as I and my mother chose to take a positive stance in the midst of a threatening situation. In addition to recognizing family strengths and resources, this book also focuses on the significance of positive relationships within the community. The interplay of resilient characteristics is highlighted while at the same time recognizing actual and real challenges that come along with a cancer experience - the "silent struggles" toward social issues that all had an impact in my mother's disease. Yet, cancer can be a gateway to heal and to evolve one's consciousness in the process. It is a consciousness that is inherent to each but is usually dormant and unrecognized. This can allow both the person with cancer and other family members be positively transformed by the illness an opportunity and gift of cancer. In this book, I do not speak as an expert but as an observer of my own life and my environment as I attempt to document my mother's cancer experience. The time I became her immediate caregiver during initial cancer treatments and until she was re-integrating into the community as a woman diagnosed with cancer. - Vera Icon "A blend of scholarly research, spirituality and personal experience shapes this memoir of growth and loss when coping with cancer..." "A poignant mother daughter story that adds a personal touch to the science of suffering." Kirkus Review, November 30, 2012

In the summer of 2018 Daniel O'Leary received the news that we all dread - a cancer diagnosis. As a priest, teacher, bestselling author and retreat facilitator, it was a natural instinct for Daniel to journal his thoughts and feelings during his illness. Completed just before his death in January 2019, this book is an incredibly raw and courageous account. It pulls no punches in terms of Daniel's struggles to cope with his diagnosis, the challenges of cancer treatment and the emotional roller coaster of facing his own death. The book reveals a soul in chaos. It has the extremes of a kite in a storm - it sweeps between hope and despair, throws cartwheels and steadies out, crashes with fear and continues with raw and real courage. During his final months Daniel found a great clarity about what is important in life. There is a tough honesty here: an honesty that can only emerge when people are encouraged to really explore what their Christianity means to them.

“You have lung cancer.” My surgeon had just called to tell me this after reading my chest x-ray taken in preparation for a scheduled breast lumpectomy. I remember standing all alone in my condo holding the phone, in shock, having my first out-of-body experience, thinking this isn't real, this isn't happening to me! I am a non-smoker, there was no family history of lung cancer, and I had always lived a healthy lifestyle (or so I thought).In this book, I share with you all the (shocking) lung cancer facts that I have learned. There are numerous posts on nutrition espousing the importance of eating a plant-based, sugar-free diet for prevention and healing. I discuss stress management, risk-taking, alternative healing modalities, and the joys of travel. I share my experiences dealing with medical/surgical treatments, and managing medication side effects. I also share my fears and challenges, my feelings and values. I offer my learnings and “coachable moments.” I delve into my spiritual quest and share my thoughts on death and dying. I acknowledge my wonderful support system and how important they are in helping me get through it all. Mostly I explain why and how I am "Dancing Through Cancer."This book will be helpful to cancer patients, their caregivers, and to anyone who wants to learn how to prevent cancer from happening to them.
