Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cancer Book: 101 Stories of Courage, Support & Love Paperback – Illustrated, 3 March 2009

Nice book with lots of uplifting stories.

Very good book for one battling Cancer & having Chemo. Very inspiring, encouraging and cheery book for my friend who has had surgery for Cancer and now preparing to start Chemo. Read a little of it myself and love it. Have ordered a copy for me too. Thanks.

Shipped fast. This book is very good and as a mother of three the stories sure helped me through my down days

I purchased this book because I was diagnosed with cancer back in 2007. At the time, I was scared and unsure of what my future would hold. I spent my year of treatments wondering if I would ever make it to college, find a nice guy, get married, and have kids. Before my diagnosis, none of that was important, but once there was a chance that I would never experience those things, they became important.It wasn't until after I had finished my treatments that I learned of this book. What some people don't realize about cancer is that the battle isn't over even if the treatments have stopped. You have to put yourself back into a society that may or may not understand the hardships that you have had to face. Sometimes, like with my cancer, you have a constant reminder that will never disappear. Each time you look into the mirror, you see the scars and the way you body has been forced to change in order to stop that dreaded disease.Then you have to go out every day and watch as other people react to those scars or disfigurements. They want to ask, but they don't. You get the looks of sorrow and/or pity. The looks you don't want to see but can't help but to notice. It was hard for me to ignore those looks, no matter how hard I tried. I was about ready to give up until I saw this book.I did not hesitate to order it and I'm so glad that I got it. Seeing and reading to other people's stories has really helped me with my recovery. I still have problems when it comes to certain things, but I'm much better. This book has many stories that deserve to be heard, shared, and understood. Whether you have had cancer, know someone who has, or not, it is worth the time and money to read it. I just hope it is as helpful to you as it was for me.

I bought this gift for my parents’s pastor who is fighting cancer and I know it will lift his spirit because you read a short story and you feel better. I am a big fan of chicken soup for the soul.
