Rating:  - missing help
like a cancer patient misses a piece of themselves, any person supporting a cancer patient loses themselves. to the process.
this devotional helps any and all through the process. the grief-striken, yet hope-producing process. Kudos to Yvonne for putting the hope on paper for the rest of us.
Rating: - Hope for the Journey Through Cancer
It is an excellant book. It gives the cancer patient a feeling that he/she is not alone in her feelings. It really helps give hope and a feeling of companionship.
Rating:  - A great book for anyone going through cancer...
I really don't feel worthy reviewing this book because I do not have cancer nor do I have a family member that has cancer, but I realize I am a minority.
So you might be like me and think, why should I read this book? Well let me give you some information on why this is a must read book.
Who gets breast cancer?
All women are at risk for breast cancer. Known risk factors like having a family history of breast cancer, starting menopause after age 55 or never having children account for only a small number of new breast cancer cases every year. That means that most women who get breast cancer have no known risk factors except being a woman and getting older. (source Koman.org)
So if you are a woman and you are getting older, you have a risk of contacting breast cancer.
Ortega's books is a sixty day journey looking for hope in the midst of cancer. But don't be fooled, this book is not just for the one who HAS cancer, but for family members and friends who are helping someone through breast cancer. Ortega is open and honest about her fears, her pain, depression, and having to relying on others. God took each of these areas and gives Ortega HOPE.
Each devotional begins with a "Hope Builder" which is the bible reading for each day. She displays real honesty and humility right from the first page until you finish the last. I found I could not put this book down, I kept it in my car and read it while waiting for my kids to get out of school, it was that good.
I strongly recommend each church library to have a copy of Ortega's book, each person who knows someone going through a medical crisis. I promise you this book will bless whoever reads it.
Rating: - Support for Breast Cancer Survivors
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2007, had a lumpectory and radiation. I read "Hope for the Journey Through Cancer" and felt that it was so supportive to me and would help countless women. I am now purchasing copies to place in care packages that are being given to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer by a local Breast Cancer support group. I hope that it blesses them as much as it has blessed me.
Rating: - Tears and Triumphs
Hope for the Journey through Cancer is a book that should be in everyone's personal library with extra copies at hand. It's an invaluable gift for those facing this disease, or those traveling this ( or any other) painful journey with a loved one or friend. There are no clichés here, just inspiring reality. Real fear, real tears, real depression, real wrestling with truth and decision-making, real nightmares describe a real battle against cancer and the emotional pitfalls that accompany it. But the pages are also filled with real courage, real understanding, real humor, real faith and real help from real friends and a real God. Ortega admits to it all with such humility and honesty you are one with her from the first page. What is meant to be a 60 day devotional/work book becomes a first-time straight through read. Then, you go back - again and again. She is gentle, tender, concerned and challenging -- always straight from the heart. Her suggestions and activities work! They truly do bring to life that definitive word in the title, "HOPE." Let Yvonne (through her book) be one of your traveling companions.
