From This Moment On: A Guide for Those Recently Diagnosed with Cancer
This book has changed my life. I received my diagnosis less than a week ago and yesterday, while I was in the library looking for reading material for after surgery, this book leapt out of the shelves to me. It's simple and comprehensive, and easy to read. It's just what you need to begin recovering from the shock of your diagnosis. More importantly, it gives you HOPE. My husband will read it next because he needs to understand what is in this book that will become my constant companion in the months to come.
From This Moment On: A Guide for Those Recently Diagnosed with Cancer
I was diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago and just read Arlene Cotter's book recently. At first I wondered how useful it could be, given that many of the book's affirmations have probably already occurred to many cancer patients. Then I remembered how I felt shortly after being diagnosed and realized how useful it would have been to have a book like this, filled with nonjudgemental expressions of support for the choices a cancer patient makes in living his or her own life.For that reason, I think From This Moment On may be most useful to those who are newly diagnosed. Also, I think it would be very valuable for friends and family members of cancer patients, who often feel more helpless than the patient and could use a "window" into a cancer patient's feelings.But I think the real affirmation has nothing to do with what's between the book's covers. Arlene Cotter was diagnosed with cancer; she then had the idea for this book, created it, and published it. That may be the ultimate inspiration here.

I read this book after a diagnosis of inoperable brain cancer at the age of 22. It gave me strength and courage to face my fears & continue living my life. Over a year later, I still flip through it when I feel like nobody understands how much cancer changes the lives it touches. This book is incredibly easy to read because of its bite-size words of wisdom - no endless paragraphs of text! Thank you Arlene for your honesty about the difficult times that we face & how to keep living despite them.
From This Moment On: A Guide for Those Recently Diagnosed with Cancer
This is the most straight forward and informative book I have found on what to expect as a new cancer patient.Much of the plain talk is a discussion of what to do after all the attention and initial shock of being a cancer patient has worn off. What can I do to help myself through the experience of having cancer especially when it really sinks in that this is real and not a dream.
