Book review: Pat Sanders, "I left my voice on the dining room table"

5 stars

Sanders has written an invaluable resource for cancer patients and those who support them. Her ordeal with two different cancers, one of which took her powers of speech in the early to mid 1990s, is dealt with in a clear eyed conversational way. Yet the sometimes horrific details are not glossed over. The bulk of the story and the most valuable part concerns her ongoing recovery with all the fierce struggles and unexpected help of newly formed online support groups in which she becomes very active. Cancer patients and caregivers should read this story and take hope from it. I certainly have.
