Seasons In Cancer

About the Book

In 1992, George Anderson’s thirty-nine year old wife, Lois, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Little did he realize how profoundly her diagnosis would affect him both personally and professionally. As a registered nurse of twenty-five years, he was assaulted by complex emotions both at home and at his workplace, requiring him to brave these emotions on both fronts. Seasons In Cancer is an extraordinary chronicle of human conflict and resolution which generated five short stories over a seven year period. This chronicle describes the author’s experiences as a man dealing with loss and grief at home and work in today’s society. Although this was a very volatile time for him, the lessons he learns and illustrates with these stories will help everyone who is confronting a life-changing experience-and everyone who has, or had, a friend or loved one undergoing such emotional turmoil. Beautifully written, sometimes painful, sometimes touching, often uplifting, the reader will experience emotions never thought possible in a book such as this
