The Upside of Cancer: How a Terrifying Illness Can Lead You to a New Life

Praised by Amazon Top 100 reviewer Grady Harp as a "brief, exceptionally rewarding book," The Upside of Cancer offers courage and hope to cancer patients and their loved ones and anyone facing a sudden trauma. With insights and stories from his own life, the author helps us see a cancer diagnosis not as a messenger of doom but as an invitation to tap into our inner courage, find solace and wisdom in stillness, and discover what is truly important in life.

Chris Foster is a colon cancer survivor and author of 7 inspirational books. He writes with remarkable cheerfulness and vulnerability about being diagnosed with cancer in his 80's, and shares one of life's great secrets: If you suppress fear, you suppress joy, but if you face fear, your joy increases. Read Chris's uplifting story in the popular "Stories of Hope" on the American Cancer Society's website, www.cancer.org.
