About Stay On: Build Resilience And Thrive While Facing
Product Description Connie Baker has decades of experience in healthcare and is the co-creator of the Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale. Her professional experience inspired her to write a series of books to help people build resilience while facing difficult health challenges, whether as patients, healthcare professionals, or caregivers of family and friends. The plan was to write a book from the patient's perspective last in the series, but then Connie received a breast cancer diagnosis and suddenly she gained first-hand experience. Thus, this book became the priority as she wrote from the laboratory of her life. Receiving a new cancer diagnosis is often overwhelming for patients and the people who love them. Sometimes it feels like the world has turned upside down. Suddenly and unexpectedly, you're required to make crucial decisions regarding a medical team and treatment plan. This book is a roadmap. Through its pages you'll learn how to: Put mindfulness in action and cultivate resilience even during a health crisis Make decisions with confidence Enlist your healing dream team to create integrative care Support your body through treatment and healing Organize all the information you receive Create a healing environment Thrive throughout the process Begin planning for end of life Connie Baker guides patients and their care providers through the often unnerving maze of healthcare choices that arise with a new cancer diagnosis, helping them learn how to thrive with grace and ease amidst inevitable change. Review While the focus of Stay On is building resilience and thriving while facing cancer, it also applies to the basic challenges we all face--that change is a constant, that we will be challenged many times in our lives, often through our suffering or that of people we love. This book can help people develop important tools before they are in crisis: tools like various forms of self care, building a community, practicing gratitude, and expressing compassion. The author's voice is personal and warm--often funny and always compassionate. For those who are experiencing the challenges of a cancer diagnosis or that of a caregiver, this book provides many helpful tools from creating a three-ring binder to hold a wide range of medical information that most people do not think of but will need to many complementary care options like massage and aromatherapy. What I also love and respect about this book is that the author offers many options and further resources without judgment--instead, she urges readers to choose what is helpful and to make choices that are right for them. Quite simply, this book is both practical and empowering. (The additional Action Guide provides brief summaries of key actions with space to make notes. I wish I could have slipped it into my purse when my husband was diagnosed with cancer). --Victoria Fridley--
