About this title

Synopsis

The Unplanned Journey relates the adventures of my walk on the Cancer road. It stresses the lessons that Cancer taught me. It tells the reader about my fears and my struggles in dealing with Cancer - the acceptance of having the disease, the surgeries, and its treatments. This book is written in an effort to assure any woman or man with Cancer that there is an end to the long journey. My readers should be assured that they are not alone. Today most Cancers are curable if they can be found early. Happiness and normal life will return again at the end of the journey.

About the Author

I was born during World War II to common folks in a large extended family working in a booming oil field. I was the middle child with a loving and happy life. I received a good education in my little hometown of McCamey, Texas. I left the desert area of my childhood never to return. I went to North Texas State University in Denton, Texas and obtained two degrees. My first husband and I started our family of four while I worked at many teaching, farming, and other jobs dealing with the public. My first marriage of 22 years fell apart, and I married my present husband 25 years ago. He had three children, and we melded our families. I worked professionally in industry, traveled, and continued to experience the world. Our children grew up, went off to college, and walked their own roads. The grandchildren came, and I enjoyed every one of them. Then right in the middle of my happy life, I got Cancer. But I lived to continue life and was able to build again. I now have 19 grandchildren to love and watch grow to make their on ways. Life is very good again.
