Product Description
Product Description
Since the now-ubiquitous LIVESTRONG wristbands became available in May 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, founded by cancer survivor and cycling champion Lance Armstrong, has raised more than $50 million for cancer survivorship programmes. Here for the first time is a collection of the voices and personal stories of a range of cancer survivors. There is Mike, a male survivor of breast cancer, who talks about gender stereotypes and genetic testing. Eric, the father of a five-year old brain tumour survivor, recalls how friends and strangers helped his family with financial issues and how the experience brought him and his wife closer together. From cancer's effect on a marriage, to coping with grief; from financial and work struggles to insight into how cancer can change the parent-child relationship irrevocably, this reassuring, poignant and ultimately uplifting book sheds light on all aspects of living with and after cancer.
About the Author
The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) was founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and cycling champion Lance Armstrong. The LAF provides the practical information, tools and support that people with cancer need in order to Live Strong.

An inspiring book,
By
This review is from: Livestrong: Inspirational Stories from Cancer Survivors - From Diagnosis to Treatment and Beyond (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,
This review is from: Livestrong: Inspirational Stories from Cancer Survivors - From Diagnosis to Treatment and Beyond (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.
