About this title

Synopsis

For anyone involved in cancer, whether as patient or caregiver, I Am with You provides brave counsel. The selections in this anthology speak candidly to the kinds of questions people ask during those first frightening nights after a diagnosis and for every night thereafter.

What does courage look like when you're twenty-two and learn you have testicular cancer? How does resilience sustain a young mother of three with a breast cancer diagnosis? What connections can you forge to sustain the long trek to wellness?

The answers come from a community of fellow-travelers on the hard cancer road. Some come from well-known figures (bestselling author Rachel Naomi Remen, scholar Susan Gubar, entrepreneur Alexander Niles, humorist Molly Ivins), but whether famous or not, they all speak with honesty and hope.
