Positive – great review

Positive has received some fab reviews. Here’s one I’d like to share:

Research suggests that two out of three cancer survivors and their families consider that something good came from this experience. Sounds improbable? Not really according to a new book which highlights the positives of the cancer journey.

Authored by Sally Collings who lost her mother to cancer in 2003, this immensely readable offering is full of first person accounts of diagnosis, treatment, and what they learnt along the way. Cricketer, Simon O’Donnell, describes it as being “in the club” – only others in the club understand, and you don’t want others to “join” as it means they will have to go through the cancer journey as well. Sally’s book is titled Positive as it should be – because nearly every contributor is able to articulate the way their experience of cancer has enable them to transform grief and sorrow into life-affirming qualities such as compassion, empathy and a determination to make every moment count. This small gem of a book is not just for cancer sufferers and their loved ones – it is for everyone who is interested in different life journeys and how ordinary human beings continue to rise magnificently to seemingly impossible challenges.
