"In this book Ms. Whitehead Munn truly captures the highs and lows of a cancer diagnosis. The stories she tells provide insights into living with cancer. Each story contains nuggets of advice that patients and caregivers alike will find helpful as they navigate a diagnosis. A must-read for anyone who knows someone with cancer and is looking for ways to understand their loved one's experience."

It is like a conversation with a new best friend (or twenty of them), full of understanding, acceptance, and practical advice gained from personal experience. It demonstrates how much we each have to gain and to give within our unique community. It is simply a powerful fuel for the body and the soul."
--Doris Schneider, author of Borrowed Things, By Way of Water, and Nana and the "c" "An inspirational, raw, and much-needed glimpse into how cancer changes life forever. It is both heartbreaking and inspiring to see how people face hearing the words, 'You have cancer.' This is a must-read for anyone who has been impacted by cancer."
