If you or a loved one has been impacted by a critical diagnosis, this book will help you embrace hope and keep cancer remission in your prayers as you face the journey ahead. When a self-diagnosed shoulder injury turned out to be stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Maureen O'Brien was reeling-and she wasn't alone. Her entire cancer support community had to grapple with this devastating news. But how should they reach out, and what could they do to help? When someone you know faces a critical diagnosis, it's difficult to understand what's expected of you. But if you're the one receiving the news, asking for help is its own struggle. That's why, now five years in remission, O'Brien looks back on her journey of survivorship to bring together inspirational caregiver stories that will help to illuminate your road ahead. In 26 Points of Light, O'Brien's community of care-family, friends, coworkers, extended family, and even medical staff-offer their own experiences of the journey they walked after Maureen's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis. You'll learn: Why the nurse-patient relationship is so important to anyone undergoing recovery The power of prayer for a chemo patient when distance is insurmountable How to "quarterback" a loved one's cancer support community Why true belief in cancer remission is crucial for both patient and support system Why whatever you have to give is exactly the right thing to offer If someone you love has received an unexpected diagnosis, this book will help you understand how to deliver encouragement and hope during a difficult journey toward survivorship. And for those experiencing it firsthand, it will illuminate one cancer support community's true impact on each other and remind them that they are not alone.
