By all standards of success, James Templeton seemed to have it all. He was a highly successful businessman, had a beautiful wife and daughter, and, only in his early thirties, had his whole life in front of him. To avoid the same fate as his father and grandfather, who both died of heart attacks at a young age, James became an avid runner—a passion that he believed helped him stay fit and healthy. Imagine his shock when, during a routine physical, his doctor noticed a mole on his body that turned out to be a melanoma—a dangerous form of skin cancer. The mole was removed immediately and James, who was diligent in his follow-up exams, appeared to be cancer-free—but only for a short while. When the cancer reappeared and had spread, on the advice of his doctor, James followed the conventional medical protocol, which included surgery and chemotherapy. He was also involved in a clinical trial. When he learned that the treatments weren’t working, James was obviously devastated. He had reached a new low point in his life, and as he lay in the hospital bed, he prayed fervently for help. As if by some miracle, help came to James in the form of three different visitors who would change the course of his life—and help direct him on a path back to health. I Used to Have Cancer is James Templeton’s memoir—an inspiring look back at his unique journey in overcoming stage 4 melanoma. James takes you with him on a trip crisscrossing America, during which he shares the various natural approaches he followed to battle his cancer—from diet and supplements to meditation and lifestyle adjustments. As his journey continued, you will see first-hand how James’ definition of success changed from making money to seeing the next sunrise. And how he continues finding success by reaching out to others to share the lessons he has learned. While this book largely focuses on the various methods James used to overcome his own cancer, it is also an inspiring story of not giving up when all other avenues of conventional medicine fail. It is about taking control of your life and finding a way back from the brink of death. It is about being able to tell your friends, “I used to have cancer.”

Yes, you can have children after cancer.

This book is a finalist for the 2016 Readers' Favorites Award. It was awarded a President's Award in Humor and another in Health for 2016 from the Florida Authors and Publisher's Association. From multiple award-winning author, Angelina Assanti, comes this humorous look at life as a cancer patient. From radical surgery to chemo and radiation, she's been through it all. Determined to keep her sense of humor, she reveals the difficulties cancer patients face when it comes to friends, families, co-workers and treatment. This book is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by this life-changing diagnosis. Readers' Favorite gave this book five stars and said,"Assanti's prose is beautiful and she knows how to connect with readers through her masterful use of humor." and book "Can be aptly described as hilarious, a rare gift to cancer patients and those who take care of people suffering with terminal illnesses." In July of 2015, Angelina learned that she had cervical cancer. When she went for treatment at the local cancer center, and entered the bookstore there, she noticed all that they sold were clinical books. When she asked the clerk at the shop why there weren't any humorous books about cancer, the lady scoffed at her and said no one would want a funny cancer book. Angelina said she was sick of reading educational books and wanted a funny cancer book. She knew if she couldn't get one, she had to write one! And after talking to many patients and health care providers in the building, she discovered they all wanted funny books about cancer too! The patients wanted to read them and the staff wanted to hand them out to their patients. Angelina describes what it's like to be a cancer patient and go through the procedures. Besides any physical changes involved, all cancer patients go through psychological changes. No matter if you have Stage I, Stage II, Stage III or Stage IV, every cancer patient experiences the same things. This is especially true when it comes to other people finding out and dealing with the disease. This book is also helpful to friends and families of the patient, so they can understand what someone with this diagnosis is going through. Though the subject is serious, because Angelina is a comedy writer, she has a hard time taking everything seriously. So, even people who don't have cancer enjoy the book and appreciate the humor.

A critical resource for anyone with a cancer diagnosis. Written by a radiation oncologist and cancer researcher, Taking Charge of Cancer offers an insider’s guide to understanding and receiving the best treatment options, choosing the right medical team, and approaching this difficult time with knowledge and hope. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be terrifying, and the first thing you probably want to know is: How am I going to survive this? Cancer care requires decisions from numerous professionals, delivering treatments that are potentially life-saving, but also potentially dangerous and life-threatening. The chances of cure and survival for any given patient depend on the expertise of the cancer team, and whether procedures are in place to ensure that cancer care is delivered properly. So, how can you make sure you choose the right treatment team and ensure the best chances of survival and long-term health after being diagnosed with cancer? Taking Charge of Cancer is a different type of book for cancer patients—one that goes beyond the cancer information that is currently available, allowing you to truly take control of your cancer treatment. You’ll learn how to obtain and understand medical records, and why these records are critical to your care. You’ll also find the tools you’ll need to determine if the recommendations made by doctors are in keeping with accepted treatment guidelines. You’ll discover how doctors use evidence to decide which treatments are best, as well as how doctors can become biased in their recommendations. And, most importantly, you’ll be able to evaluate whether surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy make the most sense in your specific case—and whether or not these serious treatments are being delivered effectively and safely according to the highest standards. Now that you’ve received a cancer diagnosis, it’s time to set a plan in motion for your recovery. This book will help you do just that—every step of the way.

Cancer Survivor Sharon Parker Is on a Mission. Sharon Parker thought she had a bad case of allergies. But as time went on, she felt instinctively that allergies were not the problem. Sharon asked for a chest x-ray. The x-ray results led to more tests and confirmed her worst fears. She had cancer. As if that news weren’t bad enough, Sharon soon learned that she had two separate cancers--Hodgkin’s Disease and thyroid cancer. Determined to fight the diseases that threatened her life, Sharon sought out Dr. Andre Goy, internationally known hematologist oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Thanks to his expertise and treatment, she is alive. Now, in her memoir, Look Out Cancer, Here I Come, Sharon Parker tells her own story of survival and draws from her experience to offer encouragement to others. Among the advice she shares: * Follow your instincts to get more tests. People are misdiagnosed everyday. * Don’t be afraid to ask questions of health professionals. * During treatment, surround yourself with positive people. * Focus on today and plan for tomorrow. * Don’t underestimate the power of caregivers and those who offer help. Today, Sharon’s mission is raising money for lymphoma research through her book and through the Life Lover Foundation, which she founded.
