Men Bleed Too: A Compelling Story About One Man's Struggle to Help His Wife Fight Breast Cancer

Author: Thomas Brown

Men Bleed Too is a compelling, true story about one man's struggle to help his wife fight breast cancer.

Ever since I first found out that Barbara had breast cancer the thought of her dying plagued me almost daily. I never told her how I felt about this because I tried to be her coach and source of strength. There were many nights especially when she was in the hospital with the infections that I cried myself to sleep. I just kept thinking that it was so unfair for her to have cancer and suffer all that humiliation and sickness that came with the chemotherapy treatments. I never really got over the fear of losing her. I was so afraid of what would happen to me. How could I ever go on with my life without her? How would I cope with the thought of never seeing her or talking with her again?

I thought a lot about death during this period. I firmly believed in the afterlife and eternal salvation. I knew that Barbara was a good Christian and that her place in heaven would be a certainty. But I wanted her here on earth with me for the rest of my life. I wanted to see her grow old and comfort me. I couldn't stand the thought of her dying before me.

Author: Donna Koren Wells

Since September 11, life in America has been turned upside down. As frightening as it is for adults, for teens it is overwhelming. Donna Wells and Bruce Morris, public-safety professionals with years of firsthand experience, offer teens a book that will help them navigate uncharted waters and will also provide invaluable advice and reassurance.

Presenting first the myths then the facts, this guide also offers teens chapter-by-chapter question-and-answer sections, space to journal their feelings and reactions, and suggestions on how they can help themselves, their families and the communities in which they live.

Chapters include: The Home of the Brave (what terrorists target and why); Worried Sick (the truth about bioterrorism); Dollars and Sense (potential family economic impacts); The Land of the Free (school and community); From Sea to Shining Sea (travel); Instant Mess[age] (communications, entertainment, media).

Designed to be a handbook that teens can keep with them at all times, Live Aware is compact and chock full of important, easy-to-understand information. A reassurance to parents and teens alike, Live Aware is destined to become a huge hit-a unique book that respects teens' intelligence and powers of reasoning and empathizes at their levels.

This is a must-have for every teen concerned about safety, courage and community spirit.

The purpose of this book is to present basic information on possible risks and appropriate actions related to the events of September 11, 2001. Each chapter starts with a risk scenario, giving a possible situation that teens can think about, discuss, and decide what their reactions would be in a similar situation. The authors provide a short quiz relating to the chapter topic; a section discussing myth versus fact, highlighting a fear that has become pervasive since 9-11; the truth about each myth; answers to questions relating to each myth; questions for teens to answer; and things teens can do to minimize their risk. A matrix to help readers assess their level of threat related to the vulnerabilities discussed appears at the end of each chapter. Topics presented include the threat of terrorism to all Americans, bioterrorism, the financial impact of 9-11, loss of freedoms, the impact on travel, and the impact on communication. The authors work for the Department of Public Safety for the Commonwealth of Virginia. They try to inform teens so that they can make responsible decisions and attempt to reassure students that there are things they can do to minimize their risk. This book could be used as a discussion guide and a workbook for groups concerned with the threats and changes brought about since the terrorist attacks. Although the book could be helpful for groups, it might create anxiety in some students who read it on their own.

Barbara Jo McKee - KLIATT

Wells and Morris are public safety experts with backgrounds in preparing for terrorism. This small book is chock-full of information for teens who find themselves—as we all do—confused by the new world around us after the events of Sept. 11th. The informative chapters deal with what terrorists target and why; school and community; dollars and sense; and bioterrorism. There are questions to answer on how much you know; myths and facts; and a section on how to be proactive. At the end of each chapter is a matrix so you can assess your risk. These might seem like the "worst of times" but they have brought out the best in us, and information will always be the best way to deal with the things we fear. This book will be a comfort to teens and their parents. It should be in every school and public library. KLIATT Codes: JS—Recommended for junior and senior high school students. 2002, HCI, 160p.,
