| Cancer: Messages To and From A Survivor, is written by Gail VanHecke. She relates to her readers an up-close and personal message of her journey with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diffuse large B-cell stage three.
In 2002, Gail was whisked away from the corporate world, where she worked as a professional and technical recruiter. A cancer diagnosis and a friend’s gift of a journal turned Gail’s attention away from her office day-timer and toward a more introspective kind of note taking. In her journal, Gail signed her entries
with her personal signature;
I am Positively Positive, Gail.
From the Forward, Barbara Braham writes: “In her candor about her medical experiences, Gail also brings many moments of humor. She has the delightful capacity to see that while her condition might be fatal, it did not have to be serious.
She will be the first to tell you that her recovery was equally due to competent medical care, faith, and a robust community of friends. Her journal entries cite the Scriptures that allowed her to remain positive and optimistic throughout her medical treatment.
As you read, you are privileged to observe her faith journey as it deepens from her first entries to her last.
Included in the book are actual e-mails and letters that Gail received from friends, family, and co-workers during the course of her treatment. These offerings of support can inspire any of us who struggle with what to say or how to say it. As you read them, you can feel yourself being filled in the same way that Gail was filled and sustained when she received them. When you see the power of these gestures of support, you will never again hesitate to write to a loved one with cancer, no matter how simple or short the note or e-mail.”
