"This
is a book of deep experience. The survivors' voices are wise and inspiring.
The advice is practical, sensible and supportive. Give it to anyone
you know who has cancer. Buy it for yourself."

Medicine; co-author of Comprehensive Cancer Care: Integrating Complementary
and Conventional Tharapies.
"Transitions,
whether personal, professional, or organizational, are harder than anyone
ever imagines. In the case of cancer, the transitions come at you one
wave after another. Integrating the best of medicine, psychology, and
our understanding of change, Scalzo and Magee lay out a clear path of
physical, emotional, spiritual, and social renewal. I'm recommending
it to my family members facing the void."

"Early
in my career, I would enthusiastically proclaim, 'Your cancer is controlled.
You're back to normal.' My patients taught me that you never return
to the 'old normal' after cancer, and that healing is about creating
a 'new normal.' Magee and Scalzo provide essential directions for navigating
the course between the old and the new, and for living well after cancer."

Sutcliffe, Clinical Oncologist and President, British Columbia Cancer
Agency
"It isn't
surprising that cancer changes you. But few survivors are ready to let
go of who they were, or to deal with the ambiguities of the 'nowhere'
they find themselves in. This is a valuable aid for anyone who is dealing
with the process that goes by the misleadingly simple name of recovery."
- William
Bridges, author of The Way of Transition: Embracing Life's Most Difficult
Moments
"As a cancer
survivor myself, I have experienced many of the uncertainties and emotions
that Sherri Magee and Kathy Scalzo describe so well. I highly recommend
their book and their helpful strategies for coping, not only to cancer
survivors, but to the families, friends, and care givers of those endeavoring
to 'pick up the pieces.'"

Manning, Former Leader of the Official Opposition in the Canadian Parliament
and President and CEO of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy
