GREAT NEWS FOR BOWEL CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES

READ AMAZING STORIES ABOUT HOW TEN PEOPLE SURVIVED THIS DISEASE AND
HOW THEIR DETERMINATION, COURAGE AND ATTITUDE MADE THEM ALL WINNERS
AGAINST BOWEL CANCER

LEARN THE SECRETS OF THEIR SUCCESS AND LEARN HOW OTHERS BEAT BOWEL
CANCER

Listen to what Robert, an oncologist himself, had to say when he was
diagnosed with bowel cancer:

“As a doctor, I tell all my new patients that although cancer can
be very aggressive, so to can the treatment of cancer. It is a matter
of fact that a good, strong, positive attitude can go a long way to
helping anyone win the battle with cancer. That having been said, as a
patient I would tell people that are newly diagnosed with bowel
cancer, to find an inner strength. Grasp all of your energy within
your body and make yourself a commitment that you are going to cure
the cancer. Accept any help that you can get along the way. Fighting
cancer is not an easily achieved feat. It will take every ounce of
motivation right out of you some days.”

As Robert says, accept any help you can get and that includes
understanding that bowel cancer is not the end. It is only the
beginning of a journey, and to arm yourself with all the tools
necessary to fight this disease.
And one of those tools is hope, to read about people who have taken
that journey before you and survived to continue their lives with
their families and loved ones into old age.

Thank you for reading this far. I would like to introduce myself and
tell you why I have taken the trouble to research my book and why I am
offering it to you . My name is Roger Cuff and I am a writer living in
Australia

Two years ago a close friend phoned me up one Sunday and informed me
he had bowel cancer. To say the least I was shocked and just managed
to stop myself from saying, “you’re kidding?”

No, he wasn’t kidding and I didn’t know what to say. He was very
brave about his diagnosis and seemed to accept that he just had to
knuckle down and fight this disease that had attacked him.

After getting off the phone I started to research what bowel cancer
was about and the more I researched the more I learnt about what it
was and how it affected people. The treatments, survival rates, who is
likely to get the disease and many other questions I had.
In fact, I found a lot of answers to my questions after spending
many hours over the next few weeks researching the subject.

However, one thing struck me most of all. Bowel cancer was not a
death sentence, many people survived and I started to wonder why some
survived and some didn’t.
What was it that set these survivors aside from those that weren’t
so lucky?
Why could I find all the information about the disease but nothing
about how people survived and their stories?

It was then that I decided to seek out these amazing survivors and
put their stories down in print for others to read, for people who are
undergoing treatment for bowel cancer and their families to gain hope
and inspiration, that they too can survive and live long and healthy
lives like everyone else.

I made enquiries and finally found people who had survived bowel
cancer and I learnt what made them survivors, what made them the
‘lucky’ ones. Luck had nothing to do with it. It’s what Robert
said in his story, you have to have a game plan and that includes
treatments, the right doctor, the right attitude and above all the
hope that is inspired by the patients who go on to survive and lead
normal lives once again.

With help from a network of writers, I slowly gathered these stories
so that patients, relatives and family friends could read this book
and understand what it’s like to go through this journey and how the
people in these stories coped and survived.

Let me briefly introduce you to the people you will be reading about
in my book. They all have an individual and fascinating story to tell
and when you’ve read them all, you will see the common thread that
runs through all their stories that made them survivors.

Kathleen’s Story

Read about Kathleen who at 65yrs was told she had cancer and kept it
to herself for four months, at which time she was so sick her husband
had to take her to the emergency room. When her own doctor was
contacted the truth came out and her family finally had to come to
terms with not only Kathleen’s cancer but the fact she had not told
them. Learn of Kathleen’s regret at not telling her family and
keeping the lines of communication open so they could help and support
her through her illness.

Robert’s Story

Robert’s mother had died from lung cancer when he was only five.
He determined early in life that he would become a doctor and help
others. Through hard work and dedication his dream came true and he
finally settled on becoming an oncologist and treated people with
cancer. The disease was no stranger to him but it didn’t prepare him
for the news he received after his annual physical. He had bowel
cancer. Robert had always been the person people relied on and now he
was going to have to rely on others. Read about his game plan and how
he finally beat the cancer he knew so well.

Samantha’s Story

Late for a doctor’s appointment, Samantha felt something was wrong
when she was told she could see the doctor however late it was. Her
doctor told Samantha her blood tests indicated cancer and further
tests were needed. Two days later it was confirmed she had bowel
cancer. Samantha decided to meet this news head on and told her doctor
she wanted all the information she could gather on the disease and to
expect many questions from her on the subject as she went through the
treatment. She tells of the wonderful support of her family,
especially one of her daughters who put her life on hold to look after
her mother. There is so much more in Samantha’s story but her
closing advice best sums up her approach, ‘The more you know, the
easier the road ahead will become.’

Jessica’s Story

Jessica is the CEO of a printing company and has a twin sister
Jennifer and a younger sister Julie. Having already battled ovarian
cancer two years after the birth of her youngest child she was now
faced, some years later, with bowel cancer. Jessica managed the news
of her ovarian cancer a lot better than she did with bowel cancer
because her father had died of it ten years previously. The sisters
rallied and their different strengths all contributed to Jessica’s
recovery. Jessica’s and Jennifer’s husbands, Rich and James also
have something to say in this inspiring story of family strength and
unity.

Michael’s Story

Michael was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 64yrs. Even though
his upbringing caused him to be somewhat resentful he found as he grew
older his parents had taught him true values for his life ahead of
him. His first reaction to being told he had cancer was not typical of
Michael and once he had recovered wanted to know what they were going
to do to rid his body of the invader within. Besides, he hadn’t
lived long enough to die of cancer. Michael’s support came from a
surprising source and he talks candidly about his family and their
contribution to his recovery. Michael is a complex man and his story
makes interesting reading.

Rachel’s Story

Rachel grew up an only child after the death of her younger brother.
Her parents protected and spoilt her to such an extent she was not
prepared for adulthood. When she married she was totally unaware of
financial responsibilities which led to her divorce four years later.
Her diagnosis of bowel cancer horrified her. She had never been sick
and was proud of this. Rachel set out to learn as much as she could
about the cancer she now had. She says the hardest part for her was
the realisation she could not get through her treatment alone.
Surprisingly, it was her ex-husband who stepped in to help. The most
interesting part of Rachel’s story is the shift in how she perceived
people, realising that material possessions gave you no measure of a
person’s character. Her transition is truly amazing and as she says,
‘cancer was her wake up call.’

Susie and Allen’s story

Susie and Allen’s story is totally honest, warts and all. Whilst
nursing her mother through the final stages of bowel cancer she
receives the news that her husband has the same disease, all the time
suspecting she has cancer herself. Susie’s suspicions are well
founded and this is her story of how things can go wrong but still
they survived. Susie’s story is hard hitting and goes into minute
detail of her and her husband’s diagnosis and treatment. A powerful
and compelling story that demonstrates you can survive through extreme
adversity and live to tell the tale.

Brian’s Story

Brian worked hard at school going on to play college football. In
his third year he made a decision to stop playing football and devote
his time to studying full time for a law degree. In the meantime he
pursued a girl at college until she said yes to going out with him.
That girl later became his wife and the mother of his three children.
Brian went on to become a successful lawyer and at the age of 50 when
all his children had left home for school he decided on a vacation
with his wife. Eight days before he went he was told he had bowel
cancer. Brian survived the following years and passes on some sound
advice about how he coped with having bowel cancer. He also tells of
how his outlook on life has changed and his thoughts on protecting his
children from the same disease he battled.

Nancy’s Story

Nancy still lives in the house her father and his brothers built
over 60 years ago. When Nancy was first diagnosed with bowel cancer
she didn’t even know what a bowel was. She couldn’t stop crying
and thought only bad people got cancer. Having a woman oncologist also
upset her but she soon found out she was the perfect doctor for her.
Reluctant to tell her family she was given a treatment plan to follow
that included telling her family. Her son stepped in to help but as
Nancy says she preferred to go it alone when possible. Whilst
attending chemotherapy she met Sammy a delightful girl of nine who was
being treated for stomach cancer. Their relationship flourished but
sadly Sammy lost her fight with cancer and this had a profound effect
on Nancy. Nancy now raises funds for bowel cancer.

Your book will help and reassure countless other cancer victims and
give them inspiration and the will to get through their battle with
cancer.

_When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in September 2006, I knew
very little about the subject and devoured countless books and
searched the internet to get as much information as I could, to
prepare me for the fight ahead. However, all the books were either
technical or diaries by persons currently fighting cancer. None of
them had collated a collection of stories about persons who had
survived cancer for five years or more, such as the one Roger has
written._

All the stories he collected were heart warming and uplifting,
especially the one about Susie and Allen who went through a horrendous
time and still managed to have a positive outlook and sense of humour
after all they had been through.

Their story is of personal significance to me as I was offered
similar treatment to Allen, but like Susie I knew I wanted the best
surgeon I could find and I did find him – his name is Brendan Moran
and coincidently I believe he was on the same team and at the same
hospital as the Professor who treated Susie.

I also found the frequently asked questions section of the book an
invaluable source of information that has been painstakingly compiled
and really covers all you need to know about bowel cancer.

_Grateful thanks Roger for a memorable book and good luck and best
wishes to all the survivors who contributed. Your book will help and
reassure countless other cancer victims and give them inspiration and
the will to get through their battle with cancer._

Back at work on the Oil Platform five months after my operation.
My doctor wrote me a letter saying I would never work again but like
the people in Roger’s stories I didn’t give up.
Make sure you don’t either.
Best Wishes
David Hyde.

By The Time You Have Finished Reading - Bowel Cancer Survival Ten
Survivors Tell Their Stories You Will Feel 100% More Positive About
Everything.

It occurred to me when I was putting this book together I had
carried out a lot of research about bowel cancer that was sitting on
my computer in a file doing nothing. It seemed such a waste of
resources I decided to add an extra chapter to the book, as a bonus,
to share this valuable information with you. I turned this information
into a FAQ format to make it easy for you to locate and read. Some of
the topics answered include:

* What are the symptoms of bowel cancer?
* If a close family member has bowel cancer does that mean I will
get it?
* What is the likelihood of bowel cancer re-occurring?
* I have diabetes; does that increase my risk of bowel cancer?
* What is a colonoscopy?
* What is the survival rate of bowel cancer?
* What should I do to reduce the risk of bowel cancer?
* Do only old people get bowel cancer?
* What are polyps?
* How common is bowel cancer?
* Does rectal bleeding mean I have bowel cancer?
* Is bowel cancer curable?
* What are the risk factors for bowel cancer?
* What is an adenoma?
* What is Crohn’s disease?
* What is ulcerative colitis?
* What is a secondary cancer?
* What does metastasis mean?
* Are men more likely to get bowel cancer?
* I’ve heard there are stages of bowel cancer. What does that
mean?
* What is chemotherapy?
* What is an FOB test?
* What is a colostomy?
* What is an ileostomy?
* Can bowel cancer cause impotence?

As you can see, I have tried to cover the main topics you might be
interested in.

In compiling my book the one thing that stood out in these stories
was the courage and attitude these survivors displayed in their battle
with bowel cancer. I know by reading these stories you will be able to
see how you can cope and overcome this disease and not look back.

Whether it’s the treatment plan you put together with your doctor
or just reading about these survivors and gaining inspiration from
them you will be amazed at what can be achieved. As Michael put it,
‘dig in for the fight and whatever happens, do not give in.’

these stories, to move forward and live a long and fruitful life with
