Product Description

Since the now ubiquitous LiveStrong wristbands became available in May 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than $50 million for cancer survivorship programs, and the signature phrase has become a battle cry for those who fight the disease every day.

Now, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has compiled, from hours of videotaped interviews, poignant and dramatic personal accounts from cancer survivors. Covering a wide range of subjects, from grief to spousal relationships, employment discrimination to coping with medical bills, infertility to fear of recurrence, survivors share their experiences and speak candidly about how cancer has impacted their lives. For 24-year-old Amy, it's how her illness changed her relationship with her parents. Mike, a male survivor of breast cancer, talks about gender stereotypes and genetic testing. And Eric, the father of a five-year-old survivor of a brain tumor, recalls how friends and strangers helped his family with financial issues and how the experience brought him and his wife closer together.

While heartbreaking at times, these powerfully honest stories are ultimately uplifting and extremely reassuring to patients and their families. They offer the wisdom and hope that only survivors can give. Live Strong is a remarkable testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

An inspiring book 26 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this as my husband is having a long battle with cancer, and books such as this are just so inspiring and good to read. I found all the individual stories just as the title indicates, "inspiring". And what I really noticed was that not one of the cancer survivors felt negative or bitter after their experience. Very interesting.

Mixed bag 6 May 2011
Format:Paperback
Some of the stories are inspirational others less so. Nonetheless the book is easily readable although I can cope with only one tale per session.

All of the stories are American and they highlights the difference between USA cancer care and the UK's National Health Service.
