Book Review: There Is No Place Like Hope
There’s No Place Like Hope is written for every person who has ever had to hear a cancer diagnosis. This is Vickie Girard’s long-awaited and completely indispensable survival guide for cancer patients and their families. Regardless of the type of cancer, here is an immediate, practical, and inspiring guide that will empower any patient to better fight and survive this disease. There’s No Place Like Hope is meant to be a book of sharing. It is a book about a journey that the author has tried to record, not by day, but more feeling by feeling, awakening by awakening. It is meant to do just that – to quiet your mind and heart with a real and practical message of hope. Through her involvement with the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and the American Cancer Society, the author has taken her message of “empowered patient care” to the floor of the U.S. Senate and to thousands of cancer patients and survivors throughout the world. The message is simple, hopeful, powerful, and long overdue: “We must stop speaking of cancer in whispers. We may have cancer, but cancer does not have us. Cancer is a beatable, treatable, survivable disease.”
