Pebbling the Walk: Surviving Cancer Caregiving

"Pebbling the Walk is an important book for anyone who has a loved one undergoing cancer treatment. The book’s message is powerful and simple: love and laughter can sustain patients and caregivers through even the worst cancer treatments and the uncertainty of life after that treatment. Reed has filled this book with both pragmatic and playful suggestions -- including exercises at the end of each chapter – which can significantly elevate the spirits of both patients and caregivers. Many of the suggestions are simply based on common sense, which can be lost in the stress of cancer treatment. Other suggestions are truly inspired and exceedingly helpful. Some suggestions may seem silly at first, but they will probably do the most to lightening the spirit. Caregivers and patients should try these exercises; there is no question that they will help." - Leah de Roulet, MSW, Social Work Supervisor, Tumor Institute, Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, WA
