Donna Kozik has published my first chapter called “The C Word” in Rising Stars A Kindle Sampler. This chapter is from my new book My Mother’s Cancer ~ What Worked and What Didn’t, which will be published by the end of the year.
The other four chapters in Rising Stars are written by Moira Shepard, Roberta Gold, Tammy Atchley, and Cory Ford Stickley. Topics include the importance of confidence, smiling, conversations, and change. https://amzn.to/31y5UiS
“The C Word” is what my mom always said instead of the word cancer. Little did we know that she would end up with the disease. This chapter is an introduction to who she was in order to understand the tough choices we made. The rest of my book, My Mother’s Cancer ~ What Worked and What Didn’t is comprised of my journal entries from the beginning of her wrongly diagnosed symptoms to her passing ten months later.
With several entries from those months, I add what we know now and what we could have decided differently. My dad and I have no regrets in what we choose to do. We had few options and often misinformation. We did the best we could at the time. I included these insights to help readers who might be in a similar situation.
I also give resources for products to ease the effects from treatments such as chemo and radiation. Watch for the launch at the end of November. In the meantime, you can order Rising Stars ~ A Kindle Sampler for 99 cents on Amazon: https://amzn.to/31y5UiS
