Faces of Cancer

Description

Cancer changes more than your body. It changes how you see your future, your relationships, and even your faith.

In Faces of Cancer, breast cancer survivor and former nurse Kim VanderPoel offers a compassionate companion for the emotional and spiritual side of cancer-the part that can be difficult to explain to family, friends, and sometimes, even yourself.

Drawing from her own experience with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, survivorship, and the years that followed, Kim explains all the emotions that can surface along the cancer journey. Through personal stories, Scripture, reflection, and prayer, she creates space for the feelings that don’t always fit neatly inside the expectation to “stay positive” or “be strong.”

This is book is for the person wondering:

• Is it normal to feel this afraid?
• Can I be angry and still trust God?
• Why do I feel lonely when so many people love me?
• Why am I still struggling when treatment is over?
• Where is God in all of this?

Written in brief, accessible chapters for chemo chairs, waiting rooms, sleepless nights, and the days when you simply don’t have much left, Faces of Cancer reminds you that you do not have to hide what you feel from God.

Whatever face cancer is wearing today, you are still seen.
