"What are you going to do now?" my teacher colleagues asked, as I packed away my things after my retirement party. I replied, "I might like to write a book" never guessing that the subject of the book was going to be bowel cancer. It was only three days later that I received my diagnosis. "How does it feel?" (reflections on a year in the life of one woman following a diagnosis of bowel cancer), is a moving story of Ann's battle with bowel cancer, through surgery and chemotherapy. It includes a journal which describes the day to day ups and downs of illness; and also an anthology of pictures and poems through which Ann expresses her inner journey. This book will provide encouragement to all who suffer from cancer. Ann's story is told with honesty and directness and this book expresses well the complexities of the cancer experience. Ann's reflections lift the spirit and offer a glimpse of the spiritual meaning found in the simple things of life, which become all the more precious at times of crisis.

Inspired by the strength and perseverance of cancer patients, this book of reflections combines poetry and photography to offer peace, comfort, and encouragement to those who are battling cancer and to those who support them. The photographs feature reflections that occur in nature and in artistic and architectural creations, lending a sense of calm or intrigue or vitality. The poems are all original works by Robyn Apffel written specifically for this book, expressions of the emotions common to all who find that they must deal with cancer and its treatment, but more than simply defining the emotions, the poems illustrate how cancer affects what patients and their loved ones feel. Many of the poems are not about cancer at all because there is, indeed, life beyond the disease. Those that do mention cancer, speak of it with honesty, sensitivity, and optimism.Originally designed for the waiting room of a cancer center, Reflections consists of 54 poems on a wide variety of topics. The language is easily understood, as the poems were written for readers looking for comfort and inspiration, not for critics or other poets. Some poems are very short, while others are more lengthy, but each piece can stand on its own and has something important to say. Since individuals experience both life and its challenges uniquely, each person will respond differently to each poem, but most will find validation of their emotions throughout this volume. While the author surely drew upon her personal journey with cancer, the work as a whole is not autobiographical.Robyn Apffel has pledged to donate at least 90% of the royalties generated by the sales of this book to support the excellent work done on behalf of gynecologic cancer patients at the Women's Cancer Center of the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center at Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, New Jersey.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.

When I Found Out I Had Cancer: Reflections on Living With an Incurable Illness is a collection of personal essays by Susan Sandler, who chronicles her journey with brain cancer and offers insight to both her experience living with grade IV glioblastoma, as well as how she has learned to cope and even thrive since her diagnosis. A slim book brimming with quiet courage, vulnerability and hope, Sandler generously offers up her story with the intention of helping others feel less alone. "I am not sharing my story because I think I have some answer or path that helped me work through how painful this situation is," she writes. "I don't have an answer. But I do hope there is something in my story that some people might find relevant or helpful to their own situations."

I am so thrilled that she has chosen to draw upon her collective experiences as a wife, mom, educator, cancer survivor and woman of faith to share her story of hope as a way to support, educate and inspire others. She certainly has touched my life in this way and for that, I am grateful. Thank you, Laura. I am honored to call you my friend. Dr. Katy Cortelyou, Education ConsultantIn the midst of her hard fought battle, her faith was tested, but she came out the other side with a refined sense of her role in God's world. It was during this fight that Laura also assumed the leadership role of principal of one of the largest elementary schools in her district. She began to write and share her joys and sorrows while always standing on the Word. We can all learn and benefit from the experiences of this woman of faith; teacher of all children; leader in public education; a loving mother, wife, and now Grandma! Debra EdmistonSenior Director of Elementary Education, RetiredLaura Starner's story about her journey through breast cancer struck me on all emotional levels. Not only is she an accurate and prolific note keeper, but she also put her experience into words so that I was able to understand even the technical terms. In the process, I learned to understand my own body a little more. When I picked up the book and started reading, I could not put it down. I had to know what happened next and sometimes I just let tears roll down my cheeks. This story is a must read not only for someone who is diagnosed with cancer, but for every woman and man.

These reflections on my terminal cancer have only one purpose in mind: to bring together those who would heal. and those who would be healed. And to preserve protect and prolong life, hold it sacred against all impediments and anyone who would have it otherwise. They mirror the human predicament reflected in a single heart, are written with no intent to harm, and hold everybody harmless in an effort to save lives. Some of the names have been altered to protect the innocent, while others have been used with their permission. Everything written and implied explicitly. or implicitly, is solely the perception of the author. The story of my life struggling with the cancer in me and the cancer out there as I call it, that would have had me dead before my time, is an odyssey that allows one to look into oneself. The fragility and insouciance of human nature is terrifying, disheartening and inconceivable at times, but nonetheless allows one to transcend it if one has the courage and tenacity to survive against all odds. Thats what this story is all about. I dedicate this book to all those who would unstintingly heal, knowing what cannot be known. hold life sacred and seek this truth so as to transcend themselves and act with compassion. humility and unerring faith, to help others survive.
