Breast cancer book

letters

My wife, Lizzie, and I have battled through the terrors of a terminal breast cancer diagnosis. That was nine years ago. In Lizzie's case, her chemo treatments (adriamycin) also led to end-stage heart failure - another death sentence - just nine months after her chemo protocols started.

But my dear Lizzie (and I) were very fortunate. For in spite of all the horrors she'd already faced, she got a heart transplant in 1996. Today, eight years later, she is a hospice volunteer to others who now walk the same dark paths she once traveled so bravely.

For any who must walk that dreadful way - both patient and caregiver - our hearts and prayers go out to you.

As a lover of my wife and a very experienced caregiver, I've written a book of hope, love and friendship about our perilous journey together, about the difficulties of the travel, about the joys and the absolute need for faith, hope, and courage, too. May it prove a blessing to those who might read it.

I would be grateful to you for checking out the website for Letters for Lizzie at www.lettersforlizzie.com.
