Here is what is being said about Cancer is a Cage:
I had many mixed emotions, from despair, anger, and agony while reading her journey through this horrible disease. So much pain. Cancer is an in between word, it stands between the patient, caregiver and everything else. It is a huge obstacle. Some of Lynn’s notes angered me as I feel he had nothing to apologize for, but as a parent, I would have blamed myself too, not doing enough - doing too much. There is so much to be done to help other patients. Danielle F.
This is an incredibly raw and captivating account of a life full of loss and pain, but seen through the eyes of an extremely talented writer. Elizabeth is at times hopeless and accepting of her disease, at others fierce, defiant and determined to live. Throughout, the writing is poignant and transfixing as she takes you on her difficult and painful journey. Her father faced the difficult task of transcribing her journals as her primary caregiver, which could not have been an easy one. I hope her story is read both by those who have lost loved ones to cancer and those still involved in the fight, and that it moves and inspires people like it did me. Liz, you are greatly missed and so loved, and we will never forget you. Nicki A.
Here are my comments. The later ones are thoroughly tear stained so they might not be too accurate! I can't say how much I have been impacted by this journal. She was not only brave, but so brutally honest and open and so incredibly self -perceptive. This will be an invaluable resource for cancer sufferers -- both patients and care givers. Brad L.
