Take it On

Lucy was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 6 years old. “Take it on” written by Lucy herself details her journey and is intended to help other young people who may be starting their own journey, what they can expect to feel and experience along the way.

 

About the Author

Hi, I’m Lucy.
I was diagnosed when I was 6. Before I knew I had cancer, I was feeling very sick in the mornings and would vomit. After that, I would be fine. I found out I had cancer after I had a CT scan, which was done in a big loud donut shaped machine. 
Have you had one of them?
Through this new journey, it’s ok to feel scared; I know I was! Lots of things are going to change, but just remember there are lots of people around you who can help and explain any questions you may have. My family, including my Mum, Dad and Brother were always there for me no matter what, and still are today.
So… Do whatever you can to beat this monster! I know you can do it; after all, this is your journey.

Crushing Crohn’s

Some people view chronic illnesses like Crohn’s as a lifelong prison sentence.
Initially, I, too, shared that belief. I was dealt a bad medical hand at the age of eighteen and had to ‘shuffle the deck’ in my favour. In time, I discovered actions that led to a life free of medication. It’s highly unusual to hear of someone who has defeated severe Crohn’s disease and wrote a book about their experience – not that one should brag about their bowel habits or any other ritual that involves a toilet. Years of trial and error led to six simple principles that apply to crushing Crohn’s and reaching your goals. This book shares my journey with the reader, from symptoms, diagnosis, experimentation, to remission. It’s time to turn the tide and wake up to our inflammatory world. A change is coming, and it all starts with what we put in our mouths.

The Little Things: A Breast Cancer Memoir

 

It’s ‘the little things’ that matter.

No one knows that more than Lindsey Kennedy. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she couldn’t find the book she needed to read, so she wrote one.

This is Lindsey’s ultimately uplifting story filled with humour when faced with unthinkable health crises. When many would have found only storm clouds, she found silver linings. Along the way, she was supported by the love of family, friends and strangers.

Lindsey’s determination to help others led to her being one of the faces of a national breast cancer awareness campaign, and The Little Things offers insight for anyone facing the dreaded diagnosis. It’s practical, comforting and empowering.

About the Author

Lindsey Kennedy lives in Victoria, Australia with her husband and two children. She is a public speaker, a BreastScreen Victoria ambassador, civil celebrant, teacher and a breast cancer survivor.

Being Sam

Being Sam opens a different window on the world. It may make you smile, it may make you cry …

Being Sam is memoir of life and death, rascal chromosomes and rogue cancer cells, and a lot of love in between, written by Sam’s mother, Morag Zwartz.

Diagnosed with leukaemia at two, Sam astonished his medical team by surviving so many relapses before the disease took its toll.

About the Author

Morag Zwartz began as a journalist in New Zealand, at The Press, Christchurch, where she was able to pursue an interest in investigating stories behind the scenes.

Later, in Australia, she wrote The New Age Gospel: Christ or Counterfeit? – a detailed investigation of the New Age movement in all its forms (1987). Two exposes of religious cults followed: Fractured Families (2004) and Apostles of Fear (2008).

Five Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle

IT’S TRICKY BEING PART OF THE SANDWICH GENERATION.

Why are we called that? It’s simple – we’re sandwiched between our kids who are possibly still finding their way and our parents who are possibly losing theirs.

When reading 5 Easy Ways to Solve the Aged Care Puzzle, stories may sound all too familiar. You may think I’m zeroing in on your family.

Trust me, I’m not, because my stories come from a variety of places around the globe in western civilisations.

It’s so important for you to realise that you’re not alone in this tricky transitional journey. Many of your friends and colleagues may also be perplexed with the issues of impending Aged Care for their loved ones.

Talk with them, talk with the type of professionals mentioned in this book and make the process easier. It doesn’t have to be hard. Talking can ease what you’re going through.

Imagine the process being easy, because you enlisted the help of professionals who do this every day and know all the tips and tricks of this ever-changing process.

Moving a loved one into Aged Care is not a Set and Forget process. It requires follow-up with the Aged Care Home staff, observation of changes, continuing to pay bills and shopping for incidentals, but your loved one will be safe.

And if you’ve been involved in full-time care for a loved one, you’ll possibly find that after 24/7 care is over, you may begin to remember the funnier moments.
