HELP! Someone I Love Has Cancer

By Joel Hughes

In 2015, Joel and Rebekah were married. Seven months later, Joel’s dad was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. A month after that, at the age of 26, Rebekah was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.

What do you say? What do you do? These questions and many others are answered in this book. The answers come from real life, learned in the trenches and valleys of fighting cancer and learning to love through it. You will discover:

•How a tragedy can turn into a triumph
•How to understand what cancer is and how it’s treated
•How not to be one of the many Well-Intentioned Dragons
•How to really help your loved one through their journey
•How to implement many practical ideas to love, support, and help

You have more power to help than you may think. If you feel like you don’t know what to do or say, this book is for you.
