Facing Pediatric Cancer Together

I apologize for my absence from the blog lately. My schedule has been hectic.

Here's a marvelous presentation at the NY TIMES Wellness blog: Voices of Pediatric Cancer.

Note that one set of the parents who speak about their family's ordeal did something to help others facing it. Max's Ring of Fire is an advocacy organization doing what it can to speed up cures from cancer.

My heart is with parents facing such situations. Whatever else I've done this week pales in my appreciation for posting these resources for you.

Learn more about how to reduce your stress and medical expenses with E-book EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge.

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity.
Face Your Future with Optimism.

Reviews of "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To"

I loved your book! I gave it to many friends of mine. Arlene Abrams of Trixie & Jane

"Inspirational. Informative. Entertaining. Powerful stuff!" - S. Schnee

"I received EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge one week after I suffered my own medical crisis and found it very helpful. [It] will be of great benefit both in dealing with the fragile emotional health of sick patients and the stressful situation of the patient's caregiver… [with] very practical comprehensive information for dealing with a health-related crisis that is so seldom available to someone who is ill and preoccupied with their own troubles.

Ill people are often compromised and often don't know where to look for guidance. Putting so much useful information at their fingertips will help them navigate the difficulties of a confusing medical system. Combined with [the author's] encouragement to never give up hope, the book will be of great aid to anyone with a sudden serious medical emergency." - Daniel Eisenberg, MD, Department of Radiology at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA; Assistant Professor of Diagnostic Imaging at Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine; Medical Ethicist http://www.daneisenberg.com/

"… a powerful 'can-do' message to those most in need of it …It could save your life or the life of your loved one. This combination of positive attitude and positive action makes this guide useful and complete. Its lessons extend far beyond the medical sphere to life challenges whatever they may be: lessons we can't afford to ignore." – Life Coach Y. Ives, England

“I’ve given Yocheved’s book to therapists and to several patients on chemotherapy. They found it very helpful.” - Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., Gateways Addiction Rehabilitation Founder and Therapist

"She’s Jewish and I'm Christian, but the importance of the spirituality in It’s MY Crisis! was incredibly accurate.” Carl Phillips, ASTA Certified Hospital Consultant and Wesleyan lay minister

"... This life-saving workbook will help you direct your thoughts in positive, constructive ways that will make a big difference for you and your loved one. It's a lantern in a dark night from someone who's 'been there, done that.' And if you follow its suggestions, you'll likely come through the crisis better, not bitter. It's filled with wonderful ideas." Robin L. Silverman, Fullistic Living(TM) Fortune 500 Motivational Speaker

"Through her inspiring honesty, courage and strength, Yocheved shows us how the importance of a positive attitude and will to live are both essential to healing and recovery through all of life's challenges." - D. Topolosky, Psychologist

"A very helpful book. I bought multiple copies for friends and family. Spiritual, comforting, funny and informative." Menachem, Menachem Herman Orchestra

"... The inspiration and determination of this woman through positive reinforcement and amazing faith has made her a medical miracle and a wonderful example to us all. It's a must read for all!" - Renee Crowell

"An incredible wealth of information: spiritual, philosophical, medical, psychological, etc! The book is filled with sound ideas and sage advice." D. Myers

"… this insightful and uplifting book guides us to confront illness in a multi-modal fashion... using all resources at our disposal—humor, creating a positive emotional environment, self-nurturing, friends, outside resources, medical and alternative practitioners—to fight illness.

"Yocheved Golani gives excellent advice on how we can build and preserve good morale, get help when we need it, stay organized with appointments, medication, bills, etc., prepare for hospitalization, focus on our blessings and healing.… this book gives Resources... contact information about organizations and treatment centers that deal with specific medical problems... that most people wouldn't know how to find, including compassionate clowns, services for blind people, where to get free medical care and medications, and where to enroll in clinical trials.

"It's My Crisis!" masterfully offers ... practical recommendations, emotionally-uplifting advice, medical resources, and spiritual guidance to face, and hopefully overcome, medical illness. In the process, [Yocheved] inspires us to transform ourselves into better spiritual and emotional beings." - Dr. Lisa Aiken, Psychologist

"A truly amazing and uplifting story - the book, is a must have manual, not only if you're going through a crisis - but gives strength to everyone, seeing how 1 woman, is so brave and so clear about where her Blessings come from - Hashem. Buy the book, read it, and buy it for a friend, you'll be glad you did. " - SH

Read this Excerpt from "It's MY Crisis!" Medical, Mental Health Professionals Use it! You Can, Too:

IT'S HARD TO COPE The pressure's on. We want to be heroes at saving our own lives, or somebody else wants us to be heroic. [But] we feel like quitting this scary situation. As the mental pressure builds, our minds sort of explode. We might start asking "Why is this happening to me?" We don't ask that question because we necessarily want answers… The question is really about accusing GOD of having made a mistake- a BIG mistake. We don't believe we deserve the troubles and pain that we're in... it can make a suffering person feel infuriated. That can lead to a sense of guilt. [You need to realize that] acceptance is a process. Normal people need time to come to grips with their medical crisis… Asking "Why ME?" [could mean] "How can I get out of this situation?" … What if you're afraid that you DESERVE this medical crisis? I have two user-friendly responses to those questions…

Listen to how a recent client praised my work: "...I just wanted to let people know about a great resource I discovered. She does life / self-actualization coaching, among many other things.

She specializes in coping with serious illness, but she works with all kinds of issues, as well. I had a great session with her today where she took a heap of ungrounded aspirations (eg., I want to write / get my ideas out into the world....somehow) and, in an hour and a half, turned them into a viable,workable action plan I could get started on and feel good about right away (a timeline and lots of practical sugestions to focus my energy on an attainable goal..."
