Special inspirational memoir
inside The Cancer Book:
It's Just a Word:
Reclaiming Your Life Through
Cancer—BEAUTIFULLY
By Elizabeth Bayer
Edited by David Tabatsky

Included in the pages of Chicken Soup for
the Soul: The Cancer Book, this frank,
inspirational memoir by the late Elizabeth
Bayer was written to help others view
cancer differently, and to encourage them
to find positive aspects in their journey.
"The book is about how one can choose
to accept a cancer diagnosis," said
Elizabeth, "and move through all that it
brings with gratitude and love."

Says Elizabeth's former physician, Becky
Natrajan: "Elizabeth's wisdom, humility
and loving kindness not only had a great
bearing on her own survival, they altered
my approach to treating her and future
patients—before and after surgery, and
throughout their entire recovery period."
