Publisher's Synopsis
To those whose lives have been touched by cancer, The Courage to Die with the Spirit to Live tells of one man's journey, from his diagnosis to his final 30 days.
In June 2011, my late husband, Craig Sanders, was diagnosed with non-small cell squamous lung cancer. Writing this book keeps the promise I made to Craig when he learned his battle with lung cancer was coming to an end and he was transitioning to his next phase of life.
During this time, he lived his life to the fullest, in spite of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He went on two cruises, flew a plane, went fishing, crabbing, and was able to keep his sense of humor. He gave us strength, and left an indelible impact in our hearts and minds.
The book depicts the various phases of Craig's year-and-a-half battle with cancer. He loved helping people, and knew that as I penned his journey with this disease, he would be helping others, as well as myself.
We don't always know what paths our life will take. Often when something catastrophic does occur, we're caught off-guard. Had it not been for our support system of family, friends, and our faith, the journey would have been impossible. We honor and salute you, and I know that Craig will always be just a prayer away from us all.
