Has anyone read this since being diagnosed with cancer?
I think it's a must read for ALL of us.
Short book, 1 maybe 2 days tops to read.

It deals with accepting death and living life

    Good Book
    I read it long before cancer dx. Loved it. Might get it again and re-read.

    Books
    I liked the Crazy Sexy Cancer books. The Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips one I especially liked as I read it while in the chemo chair. Her documentary is also very good, you can get it off Netflix and the books through the library. 90 Minutes in Heaven is also very good, I read that after losing my mom.

    I read it a few years ago,
    I read it a few years ago, before diagnosis. It is a great book. I may re-read it too.

    hey, Phil
    yes, good book. I read it also, years ago (long before cancer diagnosis). And maybe I'll read it again too.

    Lance!
    He's amazing. I've had a photo of him next to my desk for years. I'm also a long-time wearer of the yellow LiveStrong braclet.

    The topic of being afraid of dying has been mentioned in posts a lot. This may help many people come to some sort of peace with that fear. I think it's an eyeopener for healthy people too.

    There is a new book out called "Heaven" by Laura Miller(?) that talks about how people's idea of what Heaven is like has changed over time. It sounded very interesting.

    Great book
    Phil, Great suggestions. I read this book years ago and continue to read it. Sometimes I just read a chapter and put it away for awhile. I also liked, It's not about the Bike. Both great books.

    Aloha,
