"Between oncology appointments and carpool lanes, I learned that surviving cancer isn't just about beating the disease-it's about showing up every single day for the ones who need you most. Including yourself."
Elizabeth Hodges was thirty-eight years old when she got the news, "You have leukemia." Six weeks later, she faced another life-altering blow: a diagnosis of adult cystic fibrosis. With three young children, fear set in that she might not live to see them grow up. Determined to prioritize her role as a mother, Elizabeth resolved to lead a life driven by purpose and clarity, even with cancer. Over her eighteen-year journey, she discovered motherhood can be the strongest motivation to survive-and thrive.
I Can't Have Cancer, I Have Carpool! is a lifeline for any mother with cancer. In these pages, Elizabeth shares hard-earned insights and practical guidance on:
- Surviving the shock of diagnosis, reaching acceptance early, and reorienting your life to prioritize yourself and your family.
- Managing tough conversations with your children, navigating treatment and recovery, and maintaining a sense of control amid the chaos.
- Understanding what to expect after the dust settles as you and your family move forward toward survivorship.
I Can't Have Cancer, I Have Carpool! is a testament to the power of resilience, self-sufficiency, and hope. This book walks you through difficult moments, offering reminders that even on the hardest days, you have the strength to keep going. Because sometimes with cancer, just making it to the carpool lane is a victory.
