In 2005, Dr. William Penzer, a psychologist for more than 40 years, found himself sitting anxiously with his wife in a surgical waiting room at New York’s well-known Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Their 31-year-old daughter had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Nothing in Dr. Penzer’s life or his work had prepared him for this experience. Like a traveler lost in a foreign land, which he soon came to call Cancerville, this loving father and seasoned psychologist discovered the pain-filled reality of trying to cope with his own emotions, while helping his daughter during such a difficult time.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Penzer guides you every step of the way to better support yourself and your loved one through this demanding journey. With his characteristic warmth and wit, he candidly draws upon his personal and professional experiences to help you more comfortably and effectively rise to the challenges of Cancerville.
