Clearly Personal Encounters With Cancer by Margaret Barnhart will not appeal to everyone immediately but will be most likely read by many as they experience their own struggles with cancer. This includes the struggle of watching loved ones receive a diagnosis and undergo treatment, explore options and make difficult choices, have bouts of apparent wellness and/or serious sickness and/or recovery.
As a daughter, sister and aunt of family members who have been touched by cancer I understand there would be times previously where I would have desperately wanted to read such a book and times now where it would not be my first choice. As a social worker I know that a book such as this has great potential to provide assistance, knowledge and comfort to those who read it.
Thank you, Margaret, for sharing your journey and the journey of five others.

I'm hoping for all the best for your mom's health!tarafarah7 wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 21:16 I do not know anyone whose life has not been affected in some way by Cancer. Today's #BOTD is a book for everyone. I am not sure I can emotionally handle reading this right now because of the difficult time we are having with my Mom being so very sick. She has an inoperable brain tumor in her brain stem. It is heartbreaking to see her health fade away more each day, knowing there is no hope for improvement. I have added it to my WTR list. I think you nailed it on the head when you said this book makes readers feel they are not alone. So often in life when we are faced with difficulty, it feels like we are the only ones who have ever felt this way. Because of this, days seem long and hopeless. The last thing we want to do is talk things over with someone who, we believe, has no idea what we are going through. That is why books become best friends. The people, their stories, and the connections we make with their shared words, thoughts, and emotions help make life seem a bit more manageable. Thank you so much for your review. It was wonderful. And, Margaret Phalor Barnhart, thank you for sharing your personal thoughts and experiences with the world. Your words are not only an offering of hope, but they are also a gift of strength, support, and friendship to so many who feel alone during a difficult time. You are loved and appreciated!
