{"product_id":"9780990499404","title":"Our Journey With Prostate Cancer : Empowering Strategies for Patients and Families","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Your spirit is your most important personal weapon in the battle with cancer!\" Writing from the unique perspective of an oncology social worker, a holistic psychotherapist, and the wife of a patient with high-risk prostate cancer Judith Desjardins shares the intimate details of their journey and the empowering strategies she devised to turn a pessimistic prognosis into improbable, positive, and hopeful results. This book is a firsthand picture of the emotional and psychological toll that prostate cancer takes on patients and their loved ones, and shows how it affects them on the inside-the mind, emotions, and spirit. It is her firm belief that understanding and treating these dimensions of the disease as well as the body, in a holistic approach,can lead to a better prognosis for the prostate cancer patient-and that it can also prevent family caretakers from developing their own medical problems due to stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwards for \"Our Journey with Prostate Cancer: Empowering Strategies For Patients and Families\", by Judith Anne Desjardins, LCSW, BCD, MSWAC\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReader Views 2014\/2015 Literary Award Winner\u003cbr\u003eFirst Place, Category: Body, Mind, Spirit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReader Views 2014\/2015 Literary Award Winner\u003cbr\u003eReader Views Award For the Best Body\/Health Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2014USA Best Book Awards \u003cbr\u003eAward-Winning Finalist, Category: Health\/Cancer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 Eric Hoffer Book Award Category Finalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 Eric Hoffer Book Award – Honorable Mention Winner, Category: Health,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 Pacific Book Awards – Award-Winning Finalist, Category: Self-Help\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2015 National Indie Excellence Book Awards, Winner, Category: Cancer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2015 National Indie Excellence Book Awards, Winner, Category: Men's Health\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 International Book Awards, Winner, Category: Health: Cancer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spirit House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008928989424,"sku":"9780990499404","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780990499404_p0.jpg?v=1763896533","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780990499404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
