Foreword by Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.

"You have cancer." Every day, over three thousand people hear these words, and their lives and relationships change forever. With each passing year, we learn more about prevention and treatment of cancer. A cancer diagnosis is no longer tantamount to a death sentence. With treatment, people are living longer, and better, even after the cruel hand of cancer clamps their shoulders.

But what about after treatment? For many couples and families, even after successful treatment of cancer, the end of one battle signals the beginning of another, when a clean bill of physical health comes with a hefty price tag, and ends up costing the end of a marriage or relationship.

Kevin Murphy's searing and devastatingly honest story, Surviving Cancer after Surviving Cancer, offers a unique perspective on this all too common phenomenon, when cancer (or any life-threatening illness) erodes the foundation of a once happy, thriving relationship. It offers the hard won wisdom of a husband who stood by his cancer stricken wife as she endured immense physical and emotional suffering, and beat the cancer that threatened her life and their unborn child, only to succumb to a painful divorce less than a decade later. Part memoir, part self-help primer, Surviving Cancer after Surviving Cancer is a wakeup call to couples and families whose lives have been decimated by disease. It seeks to bridge the emotional gap that too often isolates citizens of sickness from their spouses, families, and friends.
