During the time my wife Joni battled cancer, it was a reassuring gift to be able to call our friend Rob Lane, noted oncologist. With his extensive medical background and expertise, he was able to compassionate guide us step-by-step through the maze of questions and concerns. So much of what he taught us has gone into the book and blog, "The Bell Lap," and is why Joni and I heartily recommend it. It's a tremendous no-nonsense guide for anyone battling cancer. - Ken Tada and Joni Eareckson TadaI have just starting reading your book.

As a nurse in a critical care unit most of my life, I was always an advocate for my critical patients but could have done that much better if The Bell Lap had been available to me then. - Alice Markowitz, RN, Critical Care Nurse, patientIf you're been diagnosed with cancer, you know the pit in your stomach and the lump in your throat.
