Facing the Sun

When Caroline got her cancer diagnosis, she did not know that she was about to enter a whole new world. The world of cancer, of being sick, the world of the hospital and its medical system. But most of all, she entered a field where she found out she was not the only one going through all of this. She experienced during her journey with destination 'unknown' that there were so many others who were directly or indirectly affected by cancer. It might happen to you one day. If it is not cancer, it can be another illness and you find yourself in the hospital and dealing with all kind of treatments. It asks something completely different of you, a whole new body-mind-set. Caroline went through it her way, the Alice in Wonderland way. Whilst she was relating to it all and sharing anecdotal experiences, people asked her if she was writing it down. She started to do so, whilst she was still full-on 'in the middle' of it. That is the thing with cancer, you have no idea where you are at. Caroline realised that she was in the middle of something that was bigger than her daily life and she had to find her way in it. This book offers some guidelines how to walk through the Land of Cancer, Hospital, Treatments and Medical Procedures. Most of all this book is an invitation to see what is at offer when you are the midst of such a situation. That there is resilience you never knew you had. That there are so many people around you, you would never ever have met in your life, and most of all that there are angels at your side – and sometimes you can be that angel for others. This book is mainly about people and the love there is between all of us, regardless the situation you are in or how it may look like.
