What was it like for Mike to accidentally learn that he had Stage 4 Melanoma? Why did it take one year to confirm his suspicion that his cancer was considered terminal? What happened when Barb developed Stage 3 breast cancer while Mike was battling Melanoma?
What were the effects of radiation, medication, surgery, chemo and immunotherapy treatments on them? What were the effects on their relationship? How did they tell their children and friends that they had cancer? What did cancer treatment cost?
So many books about personal cancer experiences focus on the introspection of how life has changed for them. However, they tend to ignore the intimate details of the treatment process that caused those changes to body, mind, and spirit. From the punishment your body must endure to heal, to the intolerable doubts that can cloud your mind, this book provides a different perspective.
The book is a tribute to veterans of the war on cancer, whether they have won or lost their battles. It is also for the friends and family on the sidelines who provide support while appearing to be strong yet are deflated by the odds. It is for everyone to learn that you simply don't want to be one of the millions each year who develop this ugly disease.
This is how we choose to share our journeys. It's our hope that readers will find value in our stories. For those who are just beginning their journey, we wish you the absolute best!
