Book Description
While showering one day, Hope Jordan discovered a lump in her breast. Her first thought: But princesses don't get cancer. Like so many other women, she saw her life as a fairy tale. As her diamond tiara washed down the drain, Hope readied herself for a heroic battle that had the potential to end her fairy tale and her life. Princesses Don't Get Cancer tells Hope's story, but it is one shared by many families. Breast cancer is the second-most-diagnosed form of cancer detected in women. Diagnosis, treatment, and healing are long processes, but they are also opportunities for personal growth, as Hope found the hard way. Faith and humor carried her through her process, along with endless optimism. Hope's difficult journey is chronicled here, as she addresses both practical issues choosing a doctor, buying a wig to reactions of family and friends and how they dealt with watching a loved one suffer through sickness. Cancer is a long, awful path. It is true, we cannot choose our paths in life, but we can choose how we respond to difficulties we face. For Hope Jordan, she stands by her mantra of holding tight to good people and good experiences, while keeping God at the center of it all!

Book Description
There were 17 million new cases of cancer worldwide in 2018. And, it's predicted that worldwide, there will be 27.5 million new cases of cancer each year by 2040. Many would rightfully say those kinds of numbers represent epidemic levels. With all of those incidences of cancer happening, when most people think about fighting back against cancer, they think about beefing up for the physical aspects of the fight. Or, they think about beefing up in the area of their diet and fitness regimen. They even think about bolstering their immune system. There's nothing wrong with endeavoring to make those improvements. Most doctors will even advise their patients to endeavor to improve their health in these ways. But there's another vital area that is seldom thought about by the average patient or doctor, an area that few realize will offer something tangible to the fight against cancer - the area of our FAITH! On July 20th, 2012, I was diagnosed with late stage multiple myeloma, bone marrow cancer. By the time it struck me down, the disease had progressed to the point that it had partially paralyzed me; a turn of events that left me completely bedridden. Arriving at the hospital in this condition, 8 out of 9 doctors predicted that medicine would be of no help to me. The prognoses they gave me, I wouldn't live more than 6 months and I would never walk again. What those doctors didn't know was that I had a firm grasp on how to wield the power of FAITH and complete mastery of the God-given, 8-principle formula that would help me unleash that power to save my life. Through the use of that formula and by the grace of God, I beat that cancer. Now sitting here as a more than 7 year cancer survivor, I know that you can fight and beat cancer. I have also had the occasion to personally meet and interview 30 other cancer survivors who are telling the same tale. To a person, each of these men/women described FAITH power as one of the main elements of their victory over cancer and I agree. I agree because I not only beat cancer, to be exact, I beat a Bone Marrow cancer with just one round of chemotherapy, one round of radiation and NO BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT. That's how I KNOW I BEAT cancer with FAITH and YOU can too!!! In the book "I BEAT CANCER WITH FAITH & YOU CAN TOO" I will use F.A.I.T.H. as an acronym to share some of the working principles of FAITH that God revealed to me through the wisdom of FAITH (APPLIED) nearly 25 years ago. Applying these principles to a battle with cancer will allow you to activate the kind of FAITH that's allowed me and others to beat cancer - just as it will allow you to.

Book Description
Star of HBO Max's "Tig Notaro: Drawn," "Army of the Dead," "One Mississippi" and "Instant Family." As well as the host of the podcasts "Don't Ask Tig" and "Tig and Cheryl: True Story" with Cheryl Hines. One of America’s most original comedic voices delivers a darkly funny, wryly observed, and emotionally raw account of her year of death, cancer, and epiphany. In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words: “Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer.” The set went viral instantly and was ultimately released as Tig’s sophomore album, Live, which sold one hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated for a Grammy. Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no good, very bad year—a difficult yet astonishing period in which tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that dire time, I’m Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look at this very brave, very funny woman’s journey into the darkness and her thrilling return from it.
