Can You Understand Me?: A Hospice Nurse's Own Journey with Tongue Cancer - Paperback

by Joan Durbin (Author)

Joan, a hospice nurse diagnosed with tongue cancer, chose to change her thirty-year practice of walking prayer and meditation into a new plan of care as she underwent treatment for her tongue and neck. Instead of walking with Reddogg on the nearby country roads, she was inspired to uplift others spiritually while bolted to the radiation table.

Four months after completing radiation, she felt empowered enough to travel solo to Italy to pursue her passion for writing. This book is her journal, written throughout her journey with tongue cancer-her surgeries, treatments, and radiation; her recovery at home; her walking meditations surrounded by Mother Nature; and her healing trip to Italy.
