About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
The book's purpose is to help you deal with the enormous task of battling cancer for a loved one, yourself, or both.
Accidental Caretaker Tips and free tools are included to help you manage medications, appointments, in-home care, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and more.
In 2005 there were two cancer diagnoses of great significance that forever changed my life.
First, my wife was diagnosed in July 2005, with a very rare stomach cancer. So rare in the United States, only 20,000+ cases occur per year out of the more than 1.4 million cases reported.
Then in October 2005, I too was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer. Not as rare as hers, yet still a small percentage (only 13%) of all annual cancer diagnoses.
I soon learned there was very little practical 'How To' information available for non-medically trained people providing patient care at home.
After months of struggling with Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, hand written notes, appointment printouts, drug schedules, and finding very little practical 'How To' information about taking care of the patient, I decided to write a book by drawing from my own experiences to help other non-medically trained people.
The Accidental Caretaker was written by a husband who became an accidental caretaker, has walked-the-walk, talked-the-talk, and been side-by-side with his wife in the chemo chairs, and survived by the grace of God.
