No Description Available.

“Fear not; [there is nothing to fear] for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you [to difficulties]; yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My victorious right hand of rightness and justice.” Isaiah 41:10 (AMP) I wrote this book with the objective of helping women who are battling against cancer. I know there are many books out on the market about different people who have fought cancer. However, I never saw one written on a person’s own experience. What actually happens to a person who goes through chemotherapy? What goes on in the body during this time? What goes on in the mind? First, listen to what the doctor says that is treating you. Be sure to get all the information up front from the doctor. If your doctor wants you to read papers on your therapy instead of explaining the treatments personally, find someone else. Be prepared and be sure to have a good Bible-believing church and people who will support you. This book starts out a little depressing, but I guarantee that it does not stay that way. Just be patient and keep reading. My own personal story began in the early 1970’s when I was just a teenager, and I was also engaged to my husband. My mother and my sister have been through removal of breast cysts. Unfortunately, I ended up having to have the same thing done. My fiancée and I were new born-again Christians. We did not know much about the Word of God. We had older Christians who were disciplining us on our new walk with the Lord. It was fun and exciting. Both of us were on fire for God and wanted to learn more. After our marriage, we attended a spirit-filled, spirit-controlled United Methodist church. We were originally raised in the United Methodist Church. My parents were members of a church in one city. DeWayne’s father was a United Methodist minister at another church. During the recession in the 1970’s, my husband got a job in Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan where he relocated us. We attended an Assembly of God church there which we liked very much. At this time God began to develop our talent in writing plays. We performed a number of our own plays while living there. After living in Iron Mountain the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for three years, we moved back down to the Flint area. We attended the Methodist church that my parents attended and worked in the church, joining the choir. A couple of years later I was asked to direct a choir at a Nazarene church. We attended that church for about 3 years. During all this time, we kept questioning our religion and relationship with God. There had to be more than just living. Moreover, why did bad things happen to people? Where was God in tragedy? There had to be answers. One night, we were watching television. We stumbled on a program that had a man named Kenneth Copeland speaking. We sat entrenched. He was answering all our questions. We learned that God had given Christians authority on earth to defeat the devil, to overcome sickness, poverty, depression. We did not have to put up with all the nonsense that the devil was dishing out. We so much wanted to find a church that taught the same thing. Our hunger for the Word of God grew, and we knew we had to get more instruction, but where? We left our church service one night discouraged, because we were not being fed the Word of God. One day, DeWayne had passed a sign advertising a service being held at a church which was featuring Charles Capps, a minister who taught the Word of God like Kenneth Copeland. He was very excited! A church like Kenneth Copeland’s, possibly. He had to check it out. I was pregnant with my son at the time and did not feel like getting out. DeWayne decided to attend a service to feel out this church. When he came home, he was so excited; it was all I could do to calm him down so he could tell me what he had found. He said that he had found our church. The Pastor of the church had preached the exact same message as our minister had done, but instead of condemnation, it was with love and the Word of God instead. The Nazarene minister was leaving the church at the end of the month, so we decided it would be a good idea to leave at the same time. That was how we found Faith Fellowship Ministries. We have been members now for over 20 years. We also continued to write and produce plays. Suddenly, I was struck down with cancer with virtually no warning. What would we do now? How were we supposed to fight this? Through the teaching at Faith Fellowship, we learned that the Word of God was our weapon. God had given us a way to fight. What was it Dr. Barancik said that was in the Bible? “By whose stripes, ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24. (KJV) Thank you, Pastor, for obeying the Lord in preaching God’s Word and praying for us. Without your assistance, we never would have learned how to stand on the Word of God.

When Harvey got the official diagnosis of prostate cancer he began scouring the Internet for information. What he found was an abundance of information on the disease and on treatment options. He then turned to friends who had recently been diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. And even though these were old and close friends, he never really got a real sense of what he was about to go through. Men have a tendency of not being that open or conversational about these kinds of problems and their experiences. So he began keeping a diary, which eventually turned into this book. His hope is that it will help give some insight to the men that are about to look at mortality in the eye and help them through their personal experience of dealing with prostate cancer.

& n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ;         This is a book of War

   Nothing warm and fuzzy or socially acceptable here and nothing about “Dying with Dignity”.  Just what it takes to win. And win you will, complete with a trail of wreckage behind you. It's a book for the patient, NOT the caregiver.

 

  The Guerilla Guide to Brain Tumors is a book that will take you out of the “Grovel and Wretch” mode and into the “Command and Dominate” mode with the following factions of our society:

 

The Medical Establishment

The Social Services Establishment

Church, Friends and Family

And most importantly…Yourself

 

   No punches are pulled here. Prepare to be shocked, experience uncontrollable bursts of laughter, learn gut-turning remedies, gain the motivation and grit to dump friends and family, intimidate social services employees, access top medical care using the most unethical tactics…and the list goes on.

 

If you want to die in peace, read another book. If you want to live in pain this book not only shows you how to manage pain- but use it.

 

   Some people can take a punch while others would rather fold and die with a smile on their face, but then again-

Dead people don’t win wars.

 

Only the living count

“But, your hair will grow back.”

Connie E. Curry endured this comment daily from her family and friends as her hair slowly grew a ½ inch a month.

  & nbsp;          Give Me Back My Glory leads readers on a raw, yet therapeutic romp through her battle with breast cancer. From her diagnosis to reconstruction, readers will discover her fright but yet humor, and the importance of relationships with doctors, sometimes with surprising results.  Laugh when she shares about her daughter grabbing the cheap hair clippers and exclaiming, “Mom, this is for all the times you cut my bangs crooked.”

Over 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and most fear it and crave information beyond pamphlets or cold Internet data, as do their support givers. Give Me Back My Glory educates with laughter, tears and inspiration.

 Curry, having a background in the medical field, addresses diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, sexuality, weakness and courage in a wholesome yet realistic way. Give Me Back My Glory is particularly relevant to working moms; those struggling with midlife, menopause, parenting and marriage along with breast cancer.

As the recipient of the James Thurbor Humor Writing Contest, a columnist, working mother, and freelance writer, Curry hopes, through relating her raw and realistic experience, women will take charge of their life and their illness with a positive attitude thus speeding the healing of mind and body.

 

John Sias is a prostate cancer survivor, president of the New Hampshire Prostate Cancer Coalition and author of six published books. When he was diagnosed for prostate cancer in 2001, he immediately purchased or borrowed every available book, video and news article he could find on the subject of prostate cancer.  Then he and his wife, Marie, devoured all this material, made notes, underlined books, and interviewed survivors, urologists and oncologists. Finally he made his treatment decision.

He had already written two successful books in the Question and Answer format, one on religion, now in its ninth printing, and another about ice hockey containing 650 questions and answers.

There are many books about prostate cancer but probably few written by a survivor, an author and a president of a state prostate cancer coalition. In addition to all men over 50, those who might find value in this book include public speakers, wives, sons, daughters, news media, and leaders in the nation’s fight against state prostate cancer. 

 

 

“Easy to understand.”

 

“I can find what I want to know without having to wade through an entire book.”

 

This is a book you can skim and scan. It’s not a book you’ll read from cover to cover, nor is it a “everything you ever wanted to know” book.

 

Although prostate cancer is America’s number one cancer killer of men over 50, you might be interested in only a few dozen of the more than 200 questions and answers. But some of them might change your life. Or save it.

BREATHE OUT THROUGH PURSED LIPS!  Those words are golden for persons with chronic lung disease.  Once mastered, the technique can help with everything from going up stairs to picking up a grandchild, all without shortness of breath.

The book is based on the very successful series of classes, called the Respiratory Disease Self-Care Classes, provided for many years by the New Mexico Lung Association.
