Demonstrating the importance of having hope during a cancer journey, Mike Armstrong speaks clearly and credibly to this topic through his own personal experiences. Cancer with Hope is frank, direct, and inspirational.
Educating patients on the purpose of hope in the cancer trajectory, Armstrong's book stands out from others written by cancer survivors. I would recommend it to patients and professionals involved in cancer care.
Well written, compelling, and thoughtful, Cancer with Hope hooks the reader from the prologue. It's informational and educational while being sympathetic and hopeful.
Mike Armstrong has provided a guide for how to navigate health care and life after a cancer diagnosis. His irrepressible message is to take charge of hope in the face of cancer.
Mike's accounts of his battles with cancer highlight his courage and perseverance and offer inspiration for cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers.
In Cancer with Hope, Mike Armstrong reveals the attitude and toolbox that helped him face his greatest challenge—cancer. His insights may help readers through what is likely the most difficult experience in their lifetime. It has been an honor and a privilege to help guide Mike on his journey. I'm delighted others will get to know him and benefit from his experiences by reading this book.
Cancer with Hope describes how cancer rapidly changes your life and how hope wins the fight. The interspersed stories of other brave patients provide a uniquely informative aspect to the overall message. This is a must-read.
In Cancer with Hope, Mike uses his personal journey through multiple cancer diagnoses to teach us about resiliency, inner strength, and hope.
Cancer with Hope is not only the story of Mike Armstrong's amazing personal journey, but an inspirational guide for patients with cancer and their families. Written with unique insight, empathy, humor, and honesty, it highlights how partnerships between patients and their caregivers can have unexpected and strongly positive effects.
Oncology patients have been the best teachers of my life, and Mike Armstrong is no exception. His memoir will help arm patients and their loved ones with two invaluable resources: knowledge and hope.
Mike Armstrong has written a book about more than his journey with cancer, but how to live with hope when one faces a potentially life-ending disease. His insights and conclusions allow all of us to reflect upon our own lives and how to live courageously. This is a book meant for patients and their families, but also for all health care providers, as it will truly resonate with their experiences.
