Don't you ever get tired of being so positive? my niece blurted out one day.
The question shocked me, five years into my fight with lung cancer. Was my enthusiasm about remaining treatment options so disheartening that even someone normally upbeat struggled to see the hope in my situation? Was the way I was thinking that foreign to how other people think?
Over the next year, I came to understand that having cancer had changed more than my body. It had changed how I think. I had grown. Not in spite of cancer, but because of it. Now I treasure every new part of this adventure, as I have learned to not only survive with lung cancer, but to thrive with it.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SECOND WIND
This is one of the most thoughtful and useful books I've read, and certainly a must-read for anyone in the health professions. Beyond that, it is an amazing book for any of us trying to live consciously on this planet... I loved reading this!!! I laughed out loud several times!
Dawn Doutrich, Ph.D., RN, CNS Emeritus, Washington State University College of Nursing
Second Wind is an emotionally gripping story of one person's commitment to thrive with a cancer diagnosis. Each chapter provides coping tools to be successful on your own journey. The building blocks to assure thriving are all outlined.
There is a rare intimacy as Dann leads readers through his journey. The book is hard to put down. As a survivor I found myself saying, I felt that, too!
Charlotte de Renne, Breast Cancer Survivor
Dann's heartfelt, sincere account of his cancer journey touched me deeply. I experienced many thoughts and emotions as I turned each page. His work is inspirational and positive! The Challenge Exercises will help the reader create a path for living your best life.
I'm going to buy three copies when it is published. One copy will be for me, one for a friend that was newly diagnosed with stage IV cancer, and one for my oncologist.
Ginny Hicks, Stage IV Survivor and Advocate
Dann is an extraordinary writer. He has clarity of thought and a level of introspection that rings true, and I believe encapsulates the experience many of my patients have.
Sandip Patel, MD, Oncologist, UCSD Moores Cancer Center
This book is engaging, thought provoking and emotionally charged. Learning to meet and accept life with joy on life's terms is no small task. From the plethora of emotions to managing relationships, and from fighting the stigma to becoming your own health care advocate, the writer shows us his roadmap.
I commend this writer for sharing his journey with truth.
Bill Hogan, Cancer Caregiver
This story is a very good map for beating cancer. It is also an excellent map for living an authentic, fulfilling and loving life. In some of the most intimate ways, Dann reveals who he is.
Charles Brown, DC DABCN, Chiropractic Neurologist
This writer invites you inside all aspects of his emotional, spiritual, and practical life as he goes toe-to-toe with cancer, and comes out a winner.
The book is authentic and packed with take-aways. Anyone, with or without cancer, can benefit from reading Second Wind.
Linda Wolff, OTR, Occupational Therapist
This is an uplifting read for anyone dealing adversity of any kind. It's honest and relatable, and made me evaluate my own perspective on life.
Lysa Buonanno, Lung Cancer Survivor, Advocate, and Blogger at https: //lysabuonanno.wordpress.com/
