Finding the Light in Cancer's Shadow

Coping with cancer is sometimes more emotionally difficult after treatment than during it. There’s a shadow of cancer hanging overhead and so few who really understand survivors’ unique needs. With her trademark humor and straight talk, patient advocate Lynn Eib takes on the tough questions cancer survivors often ask themselves yet rarely speak out loud: Is everyone as paranoid as I am? How do I stay positive? What if the cancer comes back? Eib weaves the story of her own experience as a longtime cancer survivor and those of other survivors into this hope-filled, practical book designed to move readers out from cancer’s shadow and into renewed purpose and joy.

Cancer's shadow looms large, even for survivors. Fears may linger: Will the cancer come back? Will I always have complications? Will life ever be normal again? Author and cancer patient advocate Lynn Eib, a colon cancer survivor herself, faces these fears head-on. Drawing on her own experiences, the wisdom of Scripture, and the stories of others who battled cancer, she helps survivors and their loved ones deal with their fears, their moods, their questions, and more. Finding the Light in Cancer's Shadow shows that God wants to use cancer survivors in an incredible way, and points them to the hope and healing that only God's light can supply. No glib answers—just the truthful hope that God can penetrate and dispel any shadow in a survivor's life.
