by Elizabeth Batenhorst

Overview

Beat Cancer Chase Happiness was written by Liz Batenhorst, a cancer survivor, who learned multiple times what was needed to get through cancer, first as a caregiver to her wonderful mom who died of lung cancer and then 3 months later when she was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer at 37 years old. In this e-book Liz has documented the knowledge and tips gained throughout her cancer battle so a patient or caregiver can use this information to get a head start on all of the issues they will face and need to research including:

• What you need to know before treatment begins.
• What helped manage chemotherapy side effects.
• Books and dolls we utilized to help discuss cancer with our young children.
• Comprehensive websites for cancer information.
• What I used during chemotherapy on my port for the IV insertion.
• What kind of radiation cream worked so treatment wasn’t interrupted.
• Information on wigs, hair, sunscreen and hats.
• Information on cooking and eating during treatment.
• What kind of natural nail polish and makeup is available.
• What kinds of complementary/integrative medicine programs are offered and how they helped.
• Free resources available to cancer patients.
• Helpful things your friends can do for you and your family.
• And so much more.

Liz spent hundreds of hours researching cancer and treatment options for her mom and herself. She wants to provide what she learned so no one has to spend as much time upfront as she did and they can spend more time with their loved ones, caring for themselves and chasing their happiness. If Liz had something like this before she started treatment, her anxiety and stress levels would have been alleviated and hopes this e-book does that for you!
