Healing With Words: A Writer's Cancer Journey is a compassionate and wry self-help memoir written by an award-winning prolific author, nurse and poet, who at the age of forty-seven found her life shattered first by a DCIS (early breast cancer) diagnosis and five years later by another, seemingly unrelated and incurable cancer—multiple myeloma.

Raab's journals have provided a safe haven and platform to validate and express her feelings.

Readers will learn to: Understand the importance of early cancer detection and how to take control of their own health Discover the power of writing to release bottled-up emotions Learn how the process of journaling can facilitate healing See how a cancer diagnosis can be a riveting event which can renew and change a person in a unique wayPraise for Raab's Healing With Words:"One woman's story, beautifully told and inspiring to those for whom journaling will ease a cancer diagnosis." —Barbara Delinsky, author UPLIFT: Secrets from the Sisterhood of Breast Cancer Survivors "Time after time, Diana articulates incisively the thoughts and feelings that convey hoped-for meaning and encouragement. She is a woman who knows what it is to live fully in the face of mortality. She will add value to the life of every person who reads this book.
