• How to Help Someone with Cancer 70 Ways to Help Cancer Patients and Their Families During Cancer Treatment by Shannon Benish is a rewarding read that provides a well-written, thoughtful, and engaging examination of the many different ways each person can be of service to someone suffering from a life threatening illness.
  
  In this personal account, Benish shares her experience as the mother of a daughter diagnosed with sarcoma. At the tender of age of eleven, Erin Pyle's doctors discovered a mass in her leg. After conducting many tests, the family's worst nightmare was confirmed when it was determined Erin did indeed have sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Blindsided by the information, Benish found it impossible to maintain her normal life as she traveled many hours from her home, to Denver Colorado for Erin's treatments.
  
  In her effort to help other families going through the same devastating experience, Benish has compiled a list of ways friends and family can be of service during these most difficult times.
  
  Well conceived and finely executed, the author covers a number of especially hard issues with sophistication and care. Although the topic of the book is heavy, this is not a depressing book. Instead l found it both motivating and inspiring. Making it clear there is no task too small when it comes to finding a way to help friends and family as they face the fight of their lives.
  
  The book's format is very easy to follow. With no chapters in the book, each way to help is numbered, highlighted and then discussed. Some of the ways to help includes, " Pick Up The Patient's Mail, Offer To Take Or Make Phone Calls If Patient Needs A Rest, Get Them A Funny Book," and, 'Offer a Ride To Treatment".
  
  The book also contains a, "category index" which gives the reader the option of finding information according to a specific topic. This index provides an alternate way of reading the book outside of reading it cover to cover.
  
  At 114 pages How To Help Someone With Cancer is a quick read containing new, clear and comprehensive suggestions for how to be of service. If you are someone, or know of someone that is suffering from a life altering illness, I recommend you read this book.
• The opportunity to read this book by Shannon Benish occurred at a time in my life when a dear friend that I have known for 30+ years was diagnosed with high grade ovarian cancer. Still feeling shattered by this heartbreaking news, I seized the chance to read "How To Help Someone With Cancer" when it appeared on my Facebook feed. I was drawn in by its beautiful cover design. I appreciated the chapter format of this book, in particular, that made it very easy to read. The index in the front of the book also allowed me to seek chapters I was most interested in expediently. I found this organization of the book helpful when I wanted to go back and review specific topics again. The addition of the "Did You Know?" pages was nicely done to provide variety and facts while reading, also. In summary, I found Shannon Benish's "How To Help Someone With Cancer" to be well-organized, very comprehensive, and empathetic, with interesting facts interspersed. It is probably most useful to someone in a situation similar to mine, who is blind-sided by an unexpected, devastating diagnosis for a loved one.
• This is an easy-to-read book brimming with ideas to help someone with cancer and their family. So many times, a family I know would be going through this sad situation, and I wondered what I could do that would be of help. Now, as a caretaker for my mom who has cancer, I read this book as a person who could imagine the helpfulness of the ideas contained in this book. Besides the regular visit or card, this book contains ideas I would not have thought of, but that would really be helpful for a family in this situation. I will be ready in the future with some great ideas to help others. This is a great book!
