Cancer has the ability to make the best of us panic stricken and fearful or it can become the turning point in our lives, helping us to transform into courageous, grateful, and more alive spiritual beings. Specifically, this book is about the type of cancer I was diagnosed with which is cloacogenic carcinoma; however, many of the ideas and suggestions will apply to the various types of anal and rectal cancer, as well as all other forms of cancer. Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor or nurse. The suggestions in this book are from my experience (and those of my online friends from BlogForACure.com) and what's worked well for us. I've written the book in three parts - Before, During, and After - so you can jump ahead to whatever stage is applicable to your situation. This book is also written for your friends and family to help them know how to support you (if you're the one with the cancer diagnosis).
