The Grace of Living with Cancer

About the Book

Cancer can be devastating, or it can be a redefining moment in one’s life. For some it can be the catalyst to intentional living and redefining priorities. Is it ever too late to become the person you wanted to be? Author Barb Stanley chose to make cancer work for her. Instead of saying, “Why me,” Barb said, “Why not me?” She made a positive thing out of her diagnosis and used her cancer to motivate and inspire people, to educate, and to encourage others who suffer.
