A wonderfully inspirational book! First a mini disclaimer - I happen to be one of the over 200 cancer survivors depicted in this book. I had planned to do a review at a later time after spending more time with the book, but just a quick perusal of the book allows me to give it a 5 star review. The stories about each survivor are rather brief, but a positive message rings through them all. One particular story stopped me dead in my tracks and caused me to immediately write this review. Here is the way I posted on my facebook account:I recently mentioned that I was one of the 200 in the book, "Pi. Wendy A. Sorrell said I AM SO PROUD. I am actually one of the contributors to this book. In reading it, I am so amazed at how people have recovered and made their lives even more wonderful. Life after cancer is very different but I believe it gives people a very real insight into what life truly is about.. "Beautiful and moving book" according to Jane C. Bressler.

This moving look at life after cancer will help other survivors and patients realize that they are not alone.. The words that complement the images contain stories of hope, trepidation, concern, and renewal, as well as sage advice on living a normal life as the specter of cancer recedes. In 2010, the New York Times asked readers who had survived cancer to send in their photos and answer the question, “How is your life different after cancer?” and the resulting images and essays are displayed in this book. The photos depict not only the new adventures and overjoyed faces of survivors but also the honest pictures of loss, confusion, and sadness that reveal the “not always happy” life after survival. Also included in the book are entries from relatives and spouses who cared for loved ones who received a cancer diagnosis, some of whom did not survive their battle with the disease.
