Above and Beyond Cancer

This book is not about the organization Above + Beyond Cancer. It is about the philosophical journeys of ordinary people—caregivers, patients, survivors and loved ones—whose lives have been touched by cancer. In these pages, you’ll find excerpts from real-life narratives encompassing themes such as mortality, equity, surrender, compassion, and spiritual awe. Breathtaking professional photography accompanies the narratives, which captures a variety of human emotions and conditions of people across the globe as well as stunning vistas from the jagged peaks of Everest Base Camp to the quiet cornfields of Iowa. Featuring a foreword by Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa and insights by Dr. Richard Deming, founder of Above + Beyond Cancer, this book provides much needed wisdom and inspiration for our times. All proceeds from sales of this book benefit current and future programs of Above + Beyond Cancer.
