“Cancering, Exploring the Seasons of Emotional Healing”, discusses the profound impact of a cancer diagnosis on our fundamental expectations of life. Delving into the often invisible internal shifts experienced by those affected by cancer, the author sheds light on the true depth of its impact. Drawing from her life and research, Lauren Huffmaster identifies common emotional side effects spanning from diagnosis to early survivorship. With keen insight, she offers a vocabulary and metaphorical framework to articulate the holistic toll cancer takes on one’s life. This revolutionary perspective not only enhances our comprehension of the cancer experience but also offers a pathway to hope and emotional well-being. Through her bold leadership, readers are guided toward a brighter, more resilient future.
“Cancering” is an inspirational exploration of the oft-ignored emotional impacts of cancer….for those diagnosed or who are supporting a friend or loved one with the disease. The book is filled with insights and practical approaches to shine a light on this unmet need, change fear to joy, and help us all reframe our view of what’s possible living with, through, and beyond cancer.
Lauren Huffmaster has created a beautiful healing guide for anyone thrust into the world of cancer. From the first page, she grabs your hand and leads you forward through self-exploration, helping to turn chaos into peace, by reminding you that you are not alone and there are proven strategies that you can implement to not only persevere, but to thrive. Spiritual and mental health are often overlooked or deprioritized after a cancer diagnosis, but in over twenty years of working in cancer patient advocacy, I have seen firsthand dramatically better outcomes when both the physical and emotional needs of patients have been simultaneously embraced.
Your book is amazing, it is beautiful and so therapeutic. I want to tell you how much this book changed my life already and will change so many lives. I LOVE it!
