Book Description
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer diagnoses in the U.S. take place at a rate of over 1.8 million per year, or roughly one every 17.5 seconds. One out of every three women and one out of every two men in this country will get cancer in their lifetimes. Therefore, the odds of you or someone in your family getting cancer are fairly significant. From diagnosis to the impacts of treatment, The Shadow of Trepidation bluntly discloses one of those physically and emotionally agonizing cancer stories from the perspective of a spousal caregiver. It sheds valuable light on the twists and turns of cancer and comfortably addresses sensitive cancer and caregiving issues. The book also provides some basic, understandable medical explanations, experiential wisdom, and offers numerous tips with vital interpersonal communication strategies for families navigating their own cancer fights.
