Abstract

This DVD tells the story of six vibrant women, each intent on making a contribution through their careers. The women work at different jobs, but are alike in one important way: they are balancing the demands of a breast cancer illness and work. It explores the challenges women face in the workplace as they journey through treatment to recovery.

Abstract

This book was written to educate individuals diagnosed with a serious medical condition along with their loved ones about the importance of palliative care. The work outlines what palliative care is, provides communication strategies for getting the type of support and care that you want and need (and not just medications), outlines successful coping strategies, and discusses family dynamics, grieving, emotional support, and spirituality. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, the author argues for a more expanded definition that includes improved quality of life at early as well as later stages of the disease process.
