Embracing Life to Embracing Cancer--Embracing Life: The Guide for the Journey

"When you hear those blood-chilling words, it turns your life upside down: You have cancer. Larry Martel heard them the Friday before Thanksgiving in 2009, and he found that he had more questions than answers. He's sharing his story to provide others with information and encouragement. In his book, he reveals why it's essential that you embrace your cancer, how to move beyond the fear of death to enjoy life, how and why it's important to invite your family and friends along on your journey, and how to create a new life plan. You'll also learn how to decide whether to participate in clinical trials and learn about other steps that could add years to your life. You won't find the word "victim" often in the book: That's because those afflicted with cancer are not victims. You aren't powerless, and the word "victim" does nothing to help you deal with your diagnosis. While no one wants to be diagnosed with cancer, it doesn't mean life is over. Transform your feelings of powerlessness into a source of incredible strength by Embracing Cancer-Embracing Life."
