Hi Everyone: A good friend of mine, Terry Werth, has just published a collection of poems and reflections on her experience with cancer. It is a terrific book. I highly recommend it:

RE: Pink - On - Pink: Writing My Way Through Breast Cancer
Teresa Schreiber Werth (Author) Don Werth (Photographer)

"Pink - On - Pink: Writing My Way Through Breast Cancer" is a collection of poetry and prose that poignantly captures the essence of the author's life changing experience of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, the resulting journey through treatment and redefining her identity after treatment. Her writing will inspire those facing the battle with breast cancer to live “fully present in the moment to what matters most”. She opens up our understanding of living in faith through breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, however does not minimize the many paradoxes she faced; fear and hope, tears and laughter, a spiritual journey and test of faith, a dreaded diagnosis yet in some aspects, a gift. The book is also intended to be a guide for patients, family and friends of those facing a similar diagnosis. The essays, letters and poems can serve as templates for reflective writing, for topics of discussion, and as reminders of those who have shared the journey and who are able to also share wisdom and hope. This cohesive body of work illustrates the many aspects of life with and after breast cancer and the many unexpected ways it can empower a person to live fully and bravely.
