It's subtitle is: A Caregiver's Survival Guide to Keeping you in Good Health and Good Spirits. The author, Jane Heller, whispered the words in the title to her husband as he was wheeled into surgery. The chapter titles listed in the review sound intriguing: Sex? Romance? Is Anybody Getting Any? or When Loved Ones Start Taking on a Different Personality and You start Wishing they'd disappear.
Whenever I see a book like this, the first thing I thing of is that I'll bet it's not as helpful to caregivers as the OCF board since it's not focused on oral cancer. The complications and challenges of our cancer are very daunting. But I thought I'd share the title since there are some commonalities among caregiving and some authors have a way with capturing the frustrations and challenges in words. Charm
