Diary of A Cancer Patient: What it's really like, day to day, appointment to appointment.

In this book, I am sharing my story to help all the ladies who might wake up one morning to learn the tragic news that they have cancer and to help their loved ones who are about to jump into this chapter of their lives for much-needed support.I will never forget that day. I will never forget all the fear and anxiety that ran through me like a rushing river in a bad storm. I had a million questions and needed a million answers, but my emotions were so frazzled that comprehension was almost impossible. Even keeping my doctors straight (their names and their roles in my treatment) was a difficult feat. Although all the nurses and doctors kept me informed about what would happen and how everything works, I wanted to ask someone who had been through it what it would be like. At the same time, I didn't want to talk to anyone about anything that was happening so that I could try to have some normalcy in my life and not think about the cancer whenever possible.Being that I worked full time and was raising children and supporting a family, I didn't have the privilege of time to read long books. So I'm sharing my journal as a quick read for the everyday busy woman who is about to embark on one of the hardest chapters of her life. This is a journal that will enlighten her on the true daily struggles, the support that will be needed, and the tips that helped me. Life is full of chapters. This chapter of life will be a scary drama, but mine had a happy ending. A cancer diagnosis is a reminder that life is short and taking a moment to appreciate it is no longer a suggestion but a must. Enjoy it, because you never know what the next chapter will bring.
