Cancer Journey Handbook for Travellers, Carers & Friends is designed to be a handbook that friends, carers or travellers (cancer patients) can use for advice and comfort while going through a cancer journey. It covers the emotional & physical side effects of cancer as well as presenting some of the many options available to travellers.
This easy-to-read and understand guide is divided into three sections: one covers carers and friends, how to cope with their feelings and gives some helpful pointers made in a non-clinical way.
The second section covers carers and travellers. It offers helpful advice for the emotional, psychological and physical side of the cancer journey, using my husband Butch's journey as an example, so it is full of personal experiences and insights.
The third section delves into the many aspects of grief, coping strategies and advice for friends of those who are grieving. Before Butch passed away, I thought grief was about missing the person who had died. I now understand there are many emotional, mental and physical aspects of grief.
I believe my book has a gentle caring way of telling people not to be so hard on themselves, to help them make informed decisions and to explore their options completely. If we had known then what I know now, I believe our journey would have had a more enduring, positive outcome.
I have learnt so much both from this experience and because I have an inquiring mind. I have never been one to settle an answer to a question; I need a full explanation. I want to share the knowledge I have gained to help others in similar circumstances.
