My Books about Cancer
My books are for patients, caregivers, friends, and anyone who wants to make the lives of someone going through a life-altering diagnosis easier.
When my husband was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2012 we were shocked. How could that happen to us? In the years since we have learned a lot. I’ve written extensively about living with cancer with the goal of giving others information and insights that we had to gain the hard way. My books are for patients, caregivers, and anyone who wants to make the lives of someone going through a life-altering diagnosis easier.
I hope that you’ll read my books, share them, and be changed by their message of hope.

Get the Memory Maker’s Journal!
When my husband, Dan was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 2012, one of the things we soon realized was that our time on earth was finite. Until you feel the clock ticking, time is an easy thing to take for granted. It’s like a college student who knows all semester that there will be a final exam but waits until the last week and then in a panic, crams until 2 AM.
What would happen if Dan was no longer here? How would they have access to his stories and experiences? Even I didn’t know all of them. Sometimes, you can know someone your whole life and still learn new things about them. Then I got the idea for the Memory Maker’s Journal. The Memory Maker’s Journal is perfect for giving you ideas of what you can write.
The Memory Maker’s Journal is available in 5 different covers. Choose the cover that you like the best!
