This book is designed to help patients and families deal with chronic and terminal diseases. In this book you will read about personal experiences with actual patients and their stories. You will find how to take responsibility for your own happiness, how to be a "Victor" and not a "Victim". This is about quality of life, not quantity of life, although the human body is capable of many more actions beyond our imagination. People take everything they hear as fact, including what they might read on the internet, but one must remember that much of it is an "opinion". Most of us do not understand the stages of grief and acceptance that have been well described and are mentioned in this book as it's not where we start, it is where we finish. How will you, your family and friends focus on what you want and not deal with it alone?Kelly Turner, a cancer survivor and CEO of the CHAIN Fund, Inc. says "...i just read your book and I have to tell you that I am very moved. It brought me through my cancer experience all over again but this time in a way where I totally understood and saw each stage of my journey. It inspired me further and encouraged me to continue pushing. It was really awesome." Les Brown, famous motivational speaker and cancer survivor, says "This book is powerful and a must read for anyone dealing with cancer or a chronic illness."From another reader and friend with her actual personal story in the book:"Congratulations...on creating a truly profound and necessary book to guide people through some difficult times. Your words flow so naturally, just the way you talk. It was like having you here with me! ...with all the lives you have saved and affected through surgery, this may be an even bigger legacy, because the books clears the path for personal hope. There is no greater gift. God Bless You!"
