Abstract

"A diagnosis of cancer is devastating at any age. For teenagers and young adults, it presents a unique challenge both socially and emotionally ... In the pages of this book, I share those stories and strategies, in an effort to provide a guide through the emotional roller coaster that is cancer treatment and life as a cancer survivor." - Author

Abstract

"For those who have recently undergone ostomy procedures, the transition can present new obstacles. From what to expect, to ostomy- and self-care, dressing and more, navigating life post ostomy may feel overwhelming.

In So Much More than My Ostomy, Ellyn Mantell--"ostomate," advocate, and renowned motivational speaker --provides advice, tips, and encouragement for caring for and embracing your perfectly imperfect body. Ellyn, along with several other ostomates, also shares stories from her journey that led to her ileostomy in March, 2014. The book contains interviews with several who have survived and thrived through the many health and emotional challenges presented to them.

Abstract

A guide for men whose wives or girlfriends have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Helps readers deal with the diagnosis, addressing men's stereotypical reactions (usually saying little, followed by overbearing urges to fix the problem) and advises them how to behave (ask questions and, more importantly, listen). Also examines the various treatments and suggests ways for readers to find sexual intimacy after mastectomy.
