This is not a good book.

When I got this book I was under the impression that it was to help cope with a cancer diagnosis, not tell me how to feel about it. This book angered me with the preaching of put on a happy face don't look too depressed. Cancer is a big diagnosis that comes along with big feelings especially when you're told stage 4 or terminal. Telling someone not to look to depressed when is ridiculous of course someone is going to struggle with their emotions and shouldn't be expected to pretend that everything is hunky dory just to keep others from feeling uncomfortable. This book didn't help me cope it just made me more angry and I don't recommend it for anyone who is struggling to hold it together emotionally after a diagnosis of cancer.

Obvious. Didn't provide any intelligent insight.

The things said in this 22-minute guide to coping with cancer were things a child could come up with. "Don't talk about death all the time. Don't be negative around the person with cancer." DUH.
