Picking up
the Pieces; Moving Forward after Surviving Cancer
, by Sherri Magee, PhD, and Kathy Scalzo,
MSOD.
There are over 11 million cancer
survivors in North America, and every year doctors diagnose one million new
cases. Most survivors emerge disoriented and scarred. The side
effects are not only physical: emotional and financial instability, changed
relationships and spiritual questions leave many feeling overwhelmed.
Survivors speak of feeling fragmented, of needing to 'pick up the pieces' of
their lives once the struggle with cancer is over.
Practical,
reassuring and informative, Picking Up the Pieces
is based on years of research and
interviews with hundreds of survivors. The authors guide survivors through
a unique process with daily practices that build a bridge from hospital to home
and beyond.

Reviews
“Early in my career as an oncologist, I would
enthusiastically proclaim ‘your cancer is controlled. You’re back to normal.’ My
patients oriented me to the understanding that you never return to the ‘old
normal’ after cancer, and that healing is about creating the 'new normal.' Magee
and Scalzo provide essential directions for navigating the course between the
old and the new normal, and for living well after cancer.” —Simon Sutcliffe,
clinical oncologist and President, BC Cancer Agency
