The Power of Gone: Conquering Your Post-Cancer Life - Paperback

by Betsy McFarland (Author)

The Power of Gone is for everyone - young, old, male, female - who has survived cancer of any type. Based on the author's experience, she shares the changes in her own thinking and behavior that have evolved since the day her oncologist declared her cancer-free. In an entertaining, conversational, and sometimes in-your-face style, the author offers a series of steps to inspire others to identify their own methods for improving the quality of what she calls "bonus days". The fear of recurrence is a challenge faced by every cancer survivor, but the author has developed a blueprint for overcoming that fear using a concept she calls Goneness. It is written to help those who have survived cancer live a more fulfilled life, tap into their own character strengths, and make the transition from being a mere survivor to "Cancer Conqueror."
