Caring for a Loved One with Cancer (Ebook)

Caring for a Loved One with Cancer (Ebook)
By June Hunt
Virtually all of us have a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. But do we really know how to help? Reflecting on her own journey with cancer, June Hunt offers “practical, yet overlooked ideas” to help caregivers walk through the journey with those they love. Caring for a Loved One with Cancer begins with the first doctor’s visit and moves through nearly fifty short, single-topic chapters with practical application. These include offering to communicate progress and needs, keeping a record of remembrances, making a chart for medication, fixing food that helps with healing, and others.
Additional chapters cover tips for helping children through confusion, dealing with issues related to cancer treatment, discovering important “don’ts,” and what cancer cannot do. Specifically written for those caring for loved ones battling cancer, this book can also be used by those coming alongside anyone suffering from a debilitating illness.

“Could only have been written by one who has personally experienced this ‘unfriendly foe.’ As a breast cancer survivor/conqueror…I found the advice on how to minister to the children of cancer patients to be especially caring and valuable.”
Merry Nell Drummond, cofounder, Austin, Texas chapter of Bosom Buddies
“Focused on the medical aspects of cancer care, I often forget the integral role friends and family play in patient recovery. June reinforces invaluable, practical actions we should never forget, and shows how to share God’s love with cancer patients.”
Roberto Rodriguez Ruesga, MD, FACS, FASCRS, Colorectal Surgeon
“As a cancer survivor and program manager at a cancer center, I come in contact with a lot of material related to the cancer experience. . . . It is so refreshing to find such valuable information written with the loved ones of cancer patients in mind. I would strongly recommend this book, not only for anyone who knows someone diagnosed with cancer, but also for cancer treatment centers.”
Janet Kirklen, RN, Program Manager, Nurse Educator, Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center
