Due to enormous viewer response, CBC Marketplace will repeat Wendy Mesley’s program “Chasing the Cancer Answer” this Sunday, April 2, at 7:00 p.m. on CBC Television.

After fighting the disease herself, Marketplace’s Wendy Mesley is asking questions about our rising cancer rates. For example, the Canadian Cancer Society says almost one in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer.

According to Picking Up the Pieces authors Sherri Magee and Kathy Scalzo, most survivors emerge from cancer treatment exhausted, struggling with fears, and uncertain of the future. Survivors speak of feeling fragmented, of needing to “pick up the pieces” of their lives once the struggle with cancer is over.

Preston Manning, Former Leader of the Official Opposition and cancer survivor, reviewed the book:
“As a cancer survivor, I have experienced many of the uncertainties and emotions that Magee and Scalzo describe so well. I highly recommend their book and their helpful strategies for coping, not only to cancer survivors, but to the families, friends, and care givers of those endeavouring to ‘pick up the pieces’.”
