Abstract
A stale marriage. A deadly diagnosis. For Sally Connolly, three years of struggle followed her husband Peter's surgery for terminal brain cancer at age 61. Choosing treatment options that interfered least with his career, Peter focused his limited energy on work, with little left for his family, further straining the marriage during his remaining days. Connolly's clear-eyed and affecting memoir recounts their wrangling over gender roles, money management, domestic decisions and lifestyle changes. Through their traumatic journey, they find humor and comfort in unexpected places. - Provided by publisher.

Abstract
"How To Be A Cancer Patient delivers universal tools, in an easy to understand format, that addresses these vital needs for patients with any type of cancer diagnosis. The easy-to-use tools and strategies were developed through the experiences of a process driven cancer survivor who endured two surgeries, 15+ days of inpatient hospital stays for chemo and complications and 15 doses of radiation. It also includes honest, raw and sometimes hilarious accounts on how these tools were developed during the course of a LOT of cancer treatment."-- From Amazon
