Brandon Gaydorus

Heather is an open, caring, and thoughtful person. She is completely vulnerable as she shares her deeply personal journey through cancer. She reveals insights into herself and her attitudes toward God, others, recovery, and miracles that are inspiring. Her goal is to help others struggling through cancer and any adversity. ‘You are not alone!’ could be tattooed on her forehead, if it wasn’t so evident in her smile when she greets you. Thank you, Heather!

I enjoyed every line, every word, of this engaging and courageous account of the story of my patient Heather Thurman, one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met. And what a great story! It was my privilege to serve Heather during her fight with breast cancer and find that perfect option for her for her breast cancer reconstruction in such a time of pain and struggle. This heartfelt and honest description carries us as readers through her devastating diagnosis, her path to conquering not one, but two cancers, and realizing the great life and successes that God has planned for her after her cancer victory. Heather’s story is one of perseverance, faith, strength, and blessings. How grateful am I to know her and celebrate her life and her success!

"The Little Book of Healing is an inspiring and encouraging narrative. I wish I had known about many of these facets of treatment at the beginning of my cancer journey. Heather’s story includes trusting yourself and creating a new outlook on life. We all need hope. This little missive does just that. Thank you for writing a helpful book on healing."

"Heather Thurman became a Survivor the day she was diagnosed with breast cancer! In The Little Book of Healing, Heather shares the details of her personal story of being diagnosed with, dealing with, and healing from cancer. Heather told me she wanted to write this book years ago. I applaud her for being vulnerable and recounting her emotional story to help other people and their families going through cancer. Heather lives out Romans 8:28: ‘And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.’ Thank you, Heather, for writing The Little Book of Healing and showing others the hope in the diagnosis and how to thrive through cancer."
Tracie Lathram Shelby

"The Little Book of Healing is a poignant, thought-provoking and faith-affirming survival kit for anyone who is navigating a cancer diagnosis or life-threatening disease.
Well organized in a workshop format, Heather expresses raw, genuine, relatable emotions and solutions, as well as positive strategies to ease fears and anxieties. I wish I could have been equipped with this survival kit when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 46.
I am grateful now to share The Little Book of Healing with friends and family. A must have in my library."
Teena J. Miller

Heather’s story is not one about living with cancer, but one about truly living. She beautifully shares how she fought to heal on many levels and created meaning in every step she took. An encouraging life story for anyone struggling to find their way through their own adversity.

Heather Thurman has written a beautiful and motivational book about her experience with cancer and her advice for people who have to experience similar journeys. Over the years, I have seen patients that hold the beauty of positivity and strength leading to improved experiences with a cancer diagnosis, and Heather shares her personal positivity as a gift for the reader.
