Try "Always Looking Up " by Michael J. Fox. It isn't about Cancer but he had Parkinson's disease and was able to stay really optimistic. I haven't read it but I've heard really good things. You could also try a search on Amazon. I'm constantly amazed by the selection they have. In fact I just ran a search on there for you and came up with a ton of stuff. Here's the direct link: amazon.com/ s/ ref= nb_ss?url= search-alias%3Daps &field-keywords= beating+ cancer &x= 0 &y= 0 Even bookstores like Borders or Barnes & Nobles would probably have a good selection. Or if you have a Half Price Books near you, that's a great store. Your doctors might be able to suggest some books as well.

Most good book stores have a self help section. Many cancer support groups also have a library of books they can lend to members.

Prayer can be helpful. A cancer patient at my church with multiple cancer sites was healed recently with prayer. God can help you live a better life if you want Him to. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen. " I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. You could try out a Christian church and also see about their weekly Bible study group to learn about God's will for your life. You can pray to God about your daily life and have a Christian church pray for you.
