CHEMO: SECRETS TO THRIVING

From Someone Who's Been There

Chemo: Secrets to Thriving is a blueprint for living life to the fullest while going through chemotherapy. Having learned for herself that life doesn't stop during treatment, Roxanne Brown shares secrets on how to manage communication, energy, career, kids, memory, sex, depression, and yes, side effects, throughout the chemotherapy journey. Few people know these simple, inexpensive secrets - nor are they compiled anywhere else in one source.

This inspiring, easy to read book will be an invaluable resource for anyone who undergoes chemotherapy. A small, easily accessible book, it's just the right size to put in a tote bag and take everywhere.

No longer must people put their lives on hold during chemotherapy treatment. On the contrary, it is possible to thrive during treatment.

Chemotherapy for cancer is perhaps the most feared treatment in all of medicine. However, much of that fear is based on older methods and preparations of chemo drugs. The good news is: major advances in both therapies and supportive care have greatly minimized the side effects of cancer treatment.

Chemo: Secrets to Thriving contains wonderful advice on how to achieve a better experience. This book is a friend, companion, and guide, helping people manage possible side effects and enjoy life while undergoing chemotherapy.

Author Roxanne Brown was diagnosed with cancer just before her birthday. The doctors and nurses were swift to explain options and courses of treatment: surgery, chemo radiation, and tamoxifen. Information on managing side effects was scattered and confusing. After months of research combined with personal experience, Roxanne shares this vital information in Chemo: Secrets to Thriving, created with the collaboration of Dr. John Link and Barbara Mastej.

The Koru symbol

The authors selected the koru as a symbol to represent this book. Koru is a Maori word for the iconic spiral shape based on the look of a new, unfurling silver fern frond. The koru represents new life and new beginnings: growth, renewal, strength, peace, harmony, support, and loving protection. The koru's circular shape helps convey the idea of perpetual movement, while the inner coil suggests return to the source.
