Picking Up the Pieces:
Moving Forward After Surviving Cancer

Edited by Sherri Magee and Kathy Scalzo


         Once cancer treatment finishes, the survivor has the task of resuming everyday life. However, this can be more of a challenge than expected. This book uses the metaphor of assembling a jigsaw puzzle to describe the four phases involved in the recovery process after cancer.
  • Phase 1: Inquiry, which is like finding the four corners of the puzzle.
  • Phase 2: Discovery, which is like filling in the edges of the puzzle.
  • Phase 3: Growth, which is like working toward the center of the puzzle.
  • Phase 4: Reflection, which is like standing back and looking at the completed puzzle.
         In each of the sections of the book, there are sets of questions and daily practices designed to support the reader in reclaiming mind, body, and spirit to move forward with the recovery journey.
