Well, everybody says their book is a book of the heart...but
my Sanctuary truly is. I nearly lost my hubby to testicular cancer. I still get
shivers in the night. But last Easter Sunday (no coincidence IMO), he
celebrated his fourth anniversary cancer-free!
That all said and sniffed over, I know he wouldn’t be here
without the scientific advances at Indiana University-Bloomington (you go, Dr.
Einhorn!!) of the last 30 years.
So...comment to this question (and leave your email addy,
please) to get into my oho-so easy contest. Maybe your name will be drawn after
my five-day stint here at The Romance Studio as winner of the darling cowgirl
angel pin below.
What is the greatest scientific advancement of the last
fifty years?
Here’s the blurb for Sanctuary, which was an exclusive
feature and web review at Romantic Times! (PS. Mallie is based on the
real-life struggle of our dear, 32-year old family friend who is desperately
battling glioma. Please say a prayer if you’ve a mind.)
Ranch foreman and single
dad Hooper Martin is ready to put his health and life back on track after
battling testicular cancer...including re-entering the dating scene. His little
girl sure could use a mother. Falling hard for wedding guest Malia Cameron
makes perfect sense to him: she's a survivor, too.
Mallie has put her heart on hold, knowing she will never recover from her struggle with a brain tumor. She can't promise a future to anybody and vows never to fall in love. Letting Hooper Martin into her life would be a big mistake. But his good looks take her breath away, and his living faith starts to gentle her confusion about Who's really in charge.

Wow, congratulations to your husband and good thoughts and prayers to your friend...the book sounds excellent, added it to my TBR list! I guess I'd nominate the internet for the invention. Hard to imagine our lives without it, wouldn't be blogging & tweeting LOL!
I've enjoyed all these stories of Tanya's. The world has changed so much in the past 50 years. Strides in the medical field are amazing. My husband had three occurrences of oral cancer. The prosthetic gum and teeth made for him are mind boggling.
Hi Veronica, thanks for the post and good wishes and prayers. I can't even imagine how I'd be without the internet. I found tremendous support online during my husband's battle, and we get Caring Bridge announcements frequently about our young friend.
I love being able to find out something at the flick of a key. I also really enjoy the iPad. So good to see you here
hi LoRee, I have been thinking of you. I hope things have slowed down a little. Cancer is such a scourge...I thank God that so many strides have been made to find cures and remission and help people look and feel normal.
Thanks for stopping by. xoxox
My hubby and I are both survivors too--what an interesting story!
I'll never forget the day Roberta told me that her brother had cancer. It was a sad day - but everyone was optimistic that things would somehow all work out. Not only has medical science made great strides in all types of cancer treatments - I would have to say that even a greater effort was made for heart ailments. Before, people had heart attacks and died. Now, with CPR and an AED, there's a good fighting chance they'll make it. Soon, I'm sure they will find the "key" that unlocks the mystery of a cancer cure - maybe a pill, maybe gene therapy, maybe something unimaginable for us...but it's out there.
