The Other Cancer Survivor

＂The Other Cancer Survivor＂ asks the question of: What happens when happily ever after screeches to a halt with the diagnosis you have terminal cancer? When my wife, and best friend, was diagnosed with cancer I did everything I could to help make her life more enjoyable and comfortable. As she traveled through the valley of the shadow of death I was by her side. But once she passed, I found myself alone in a dry and desolate wasteland. Cancer claimed her life, I was the surviving spouse left to raise my young son by without the help. This book is about that transformative journey and how I put my life back together again. To not only pick up the remaining pieces of my life and survive her cancer, but to be able to help others who are going through the same challenges I once faced.
