Attitude to Death

Abstract

"After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care.

During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind.

Bronnie's delightful memoir is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live" --Back cover

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.

Skin Neoplasms

Abstract

"What's the difference between targeted therapy and immunotherapy? If you're a melanoma patient, you should know. Unfortunately, most melanoma literature focuses on prevention. Patients receive a terrifying, life-threatening diagnosis and subsequently find a scarcity of information on treatment options. Melanoma: Not Just Skin Cancer is the book to fill that void. Written by a melanoma survivor with extensive knowledge of breakthrough technologies, scientific research, clinical trials, and patient empowerment, it's a comprehensive guide to navigating melanoma treatment. Real-life success stories will inspire patients to fight for their own health and remind them that they are not alone. Catherine M. Poole survived a melanoma diagnosis twenty-five years ago. Yale University Press published her first book on this topic, Melanoma Prevention, Detection, and Treatment, in 1998 and a revised edition in 2005. Today, she's a noted expert on melanoma treatment and an advocate for research and patient empowerment"--Back cover

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
