Pebbling the Walk: Surviving Cancer Caregiving

by Steve Reed

Pebbling the Walk will change the way you think about cancer and chemotherapy, and perhaps even the way you think about life, death, and love. Steve Reed writes about his own experiences as a caregiver and offers advice to others in language that is uncomplicated by intimidating medical and psychological terminology. Each short, digestible chapter includes useful and encouraging suggestions for how to enhance the quality of life for those with cancer and ultimately turn cancer treatment into a constructive and life-affirming experience for both patient and caregiver. Take time to collect pebbles and search for four-leaf clovers. Inspire your patient’s appetite with a variety of menu options. Learn to dance. Keep a calendar of medications and treatment appointments. Steve Reed’s suggestions and instructions for caregivers range from the practical to the whimsical and silly. Few know better than Reed, who has been a caregiver to seven family members, the serious and overwhelming nature of a caregiver’s duties. But no one knows better than he how to infuse even the most dire circumstances with humor and joy.
