Thirty-five perspectives on life after cancer

Savio P. Clemente combines his account of a stage 3 cancer diagnosis with stories from 35 other cancer survivors, whom he interviewed for his work as a syndicated columnist. Their reflections address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lessons from illness and its lasting influence on how they see the world. The book gathers practical outlooks around seeking normalcy, recognizing small victories, continuing to learn about a disease, and finding meaning in pain. Its organizing thread is the possibility of second chances and the work of rebuilding after a long-term illness.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in first-person accounts of cancer and survivorship
  • Readers seeking perspectives on life and recovery after serious illness
  • Those interested in how people describe the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of cancer

Book overview

I almost died in 2014. Hearing those deafening words - "it is stage 3" - tore me up. But I promised myself that if I made it to the five year remission mark and was still cancer free that I would make it count.

 

As a syndicated columnist for Authority Magazine and Thrive Global, I have interviewed nearly 175 cancer survivors from all walks of life. In this book, I share the true stories of 35 of those survivors and what they learned physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from this very difficult experience which has forever shaped their worldview.

 

In I Survived Cancer and Here Is How I Did It the intention is to spread hope for second chances. That cancer is not a death sentence. There is life and healing after cancer. Picking up the broken pieces from a long-term illness is not an easy feat. The battle is often fought not in the realm of wishful thinking, but in the world of willful action.

 

"We have a choice, and that choice is for us to honor the pain, but not live by its shackles."

 

In this book, you'll be filled with insights:

 

- "Seek normalcy."

- "I knew that my pain had purpose."

- "Prepare to celebrate every single win."

- "Never stop learning. Research your disease."

- "It's not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it."
