| Lori Hope, "Help Me Live: 20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know" ISBN: 1587612127 | 2005 | EPUB/MOBI | 258 pages | 3 MB |
A cancer survivor offers 20 crucial
suggestions for the friends, family members, physicians, and caregivers of
cancer patients wishing to understand, communicate, and act with greater
empathy and sensitivity.
Knowing the right things to say and do for
someone with cancer can be daunting, and asking the patient for direction may
feel inappropriate. Following her own diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer,
Lori Hope surveyed hundreds of cancer patients and survivors for the first
edition of Help Me Live. In 2010, her new survey received many surprising
responses, such as: "Although I need to feel hopeful, telling me to think
positively makes me feel worse," "I need to know you'll forgive me
when I bite your head off," and "If you really want to help me, be specific
about your offer." Presented with humor, insight, and honesty, the updated
edition will help readers communicate more effectively, listen more
compassionately, and make a positive difference to those living with cancer.
