Transformation: Creating an Exceptional Life in the Face of Cancer begins by walking you through the author’s unexpected journey through cancer. It then delves into how setting an intention to live can change the course of your survival. Finally, this book provides helpful strategies and opens the door to living an exceptional life after serious illness.
This book is my experience through cancer--how I survived it and created a full life afterward. It's both autobiographical and educational. It's an honest, revealing, and no-holds-barred description of my transformational journey to survival.
Often times, cancer survivors experience what's called "benefit finding." In other words, they receive an unexpected benefit of having gone through cancer treatment and coming out a survivor on the other side. Cancer made me face my worst fear, the fear of dying, head-on. In doing so, I gained the benefit of strength, courage, bravery, independence, and an insatiable thirst for living life to the fullest.

I was given many books to read at the beginning of my diagnosis. They were interesting but none of them actually explained in detail what cancer would feel like, look like, or be like as it was happening to you. My motivation for writing Transformation: Creating an Exceptional Life in the Face of Cancer began as outlet for my emotions, feelings, and thoughts as I was experiencing cancer. In the period of one year, October to September, my whole body went through a metamorphosis that could only be documented through words and photographs.
The process of watching my body change was both scary and fascinating. Even more intriguing was how my mind and my thinking changed on so many topics. I wrote this book to encourage patients, survivors, caregivers, and anyone encountering a serious illness to view disease as a phase to pass through with the hope of knowing that an exceptional life is waiting ahead.
What happens to you and your body every step of the way and how you can take a positive approach to your own survival.
Have you been recently diagnosed with cancer?
Are you asking yourself, "Is there life after cancer?"
Most people think you're done with cancer when the treatment is over and your hair grows back. But the truth is, that's just when the real work begins. You start to process everything you've been through. You brain and body start to play catch up and you're left to deal with grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, disconnectedness, fear of recurrence and more.
I've been there and I understand your pain.
In October 2012, I was diagnosed with cancer and my whole world turned upside down. Over the next two years, I endured four surgeries, five months of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation therapy and three months of physical therapy in an effort to save my life. Nothing shakes up your life quite the way cancer can.
Instead of an earthquake,
it felt like a giant "LIFE-QUAKE!"
Each of us has the ability to recover our life even when the unthinkable happens. It starts in our mind. When we decide in our mind that we want to heal, we begin the gradual process of making permanent changes and building our new life after cancer.
You can do it!
After you've completed all the conventional medical treatment, make a decision to set an intention to live. From that point forward, you will begin to process your grief and move into acceptance that you are forever more a survivor.
Are you ready to discover what's possible when you create an exceptional life?
My signature online course and life coaching program will transform your life from stress and despair to joy and fulfillment!
