I was struck by a request from a customer searching for more positive books relating to cancer and treatment. There are an unbelievable amount of books about cancer and getting through treatment, but there are few that address the topic with humor or an overwhelmingly positive attitude.

The book that immediately came to mind was What's Next After Cancer Treatment Ends?
The period after cancer treatment ends can leave even the most resilient survivors and their loved ones anxious, to say the least. What's Next After Cancer Treatment Ends? is a guide written by a cancer survivor and professional life coach, Paula Holland De Long, to help anyone who has been affected by cancer take back control of their lives.

One of the women in Crazy Sexy Cancer came up with an idea that will remind us every time we look in the mirror. Jackie Farry decided to put her sentiments about cancer on a hat. There's no ambiguity in the message on her famous hats, be forewarned: they do feature mature language! Farry donates a portion of the profits to various foundations and projects to improve the lives of people impacted by cancer.
