This book documents my journey from diagnosis to the final “all clear” 17 months later. The writing is taken from journal entries I made at the time. The book was first published in 1999 by Essence Pubs. This new edition has 20 additional pages titled “Reflections: Ten Years Later.” I share some insights gained and some tips on staying healthy.

Endorsements

“The medical profession often overlooks the important emotional and spiritual dimensions of a life-threatening disease. Angelina takes the reader far past her physical suffering to experience the soul-changing struggles, heartache, and rewards of her valley. The physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of over-coming cancer - Angelina brilliantly intertwines all three in this very moving and intimate book.”
Brad Burke, MD. Author of the book series: _An MD Examines

“We have all had our valleys to walk through - sometimes alone, sometimes alongside another. In The Valley of Cancer I was brought face to face with the physical reality of life’s dips and swerves and the heart wrenching cries that we often feel no one hears. Angelina stepped into my life shortly after I lost my mother to cancer. Her tender, piercing and clarifying words of poetry became music to my bruised heart. She writes from personal experience - yes - but also from a great love for humanity.”
Donna Dawson, Author of Christian suspense novels

“The Valley of Cancer is a great book to give to individuals who are hurting or afraid. They will be comforted to know that someone else has walked in their footsteps and that no matter how bleak the diagnosis, there is always hope. Angelina shares her story, her worries and questions, then points to the One who dried her tears and held her hand.”
N.J.Lindquist, award-winning author, motivational speaker.

“From the first page I was enthralled, emotionally attached to the work as I wept, laughed and finally rejoiced. I was blessed by reading this book. I was comforted that hope springs eternal through a woman I’ve never met. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has cancer or has a loved one with cancer or is just curious.”
Dian Moore (Review in Faith Writers Magazine)
