The thought of having to confront cancer may take you to a very dark place in your mind. Dealing with doctor's appointments, testing, expenses, differing opinions, and unknown outcomes can be overwhelming.

If this seems familiar to you, then Killing the Alien: Finding the Light on a Cancer Journey is the book you've been searching for.

Author Stephanie Lopuszynski has traveled much of the path you have been or may be on. From a cancer nurse to cancer patient, she will walk you through her tumultuous journey. But this isn’t just a story of someone’s cancer walk. This book provides a few rest stops along the way.

The book’s Think This, Not That sections will delve into negative thoughts about cancer and potentially offer a new perspective.

Family, friends, and even healthcare givers want so badly to support the cancer journeyer, but often are not sure exactly what to do or say during a life-threatening time in another’s life. The book’s Say This, Not That sections offer alternative approaches and empathetic support for cancer patients and their loved ones, while also providing thought-provoking side trips.

Other stopovers include sprinklings of practical suggestions for dealing with some of the bumps one may navigate along the cancer road: what to bring to the hospital; how to maintain feelings of control during an out-of-control life experience; advice on asking questions, preparing for the future, or approaching the next steps in one’s journey.

Stephanie provides a little bit of all these milestones, wrapped up in a realistic, sometimes humorous, and often poignant manner meant to bring the reader from dark thoughts to light and from fear to hope.
