Tracy Maxwell - Being Single, with Cancer: A Solo Survivors Guide to Life, Love, Health, and Happiness

I have known Tracy for more than a decade, and watched her overcome many challenges, including cancer. It is through our own struggles that we learn to seek the growth and development that is possible when we embrace, rather than resist, whatever comes our way. Being Single, with Cancer takes the reader on a spiritual journey that solidifies for them that they are not alone, they have options, they are lovable and loved, and further, that they are powerful, inspirational, and divine in their own right.

Christine Hassler, author of Expectation Hangover, Life Coach, and Speaker

After hearing the three scariest words in the English languageyou have canceron three separate occasions in college, I learned how difficult it can be for young adults to navigate cancer, which is what led me to found the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, and what leads me to endorse Being Single, with Cancer. Like the Foundation, this book provides resources, support, guidance, and, most of all, hope for those who may feel alone in facing cancer.

Doug Ulman, President and CEO, LIVESTRONG Foundation

This book will make a huge difference to you when facing a cancer diagnosis. Tracys experience led to creating more freedom, a deeper connection to spirit, and an abiding joy in her own life, and she tells you how to do the same. This book has life lessons for everyone, whether single or not, survivor or not. I urge you to read the book and add it to your library.

Patrick Snow, internationally bestselling author of Creating Your Own Destiny and The Affluent Entrepreneur

What inspires me the most about Tracys journey is her clear approach to growth and empowerment. She knows herself deeply and she remains open to gaining more knowledge through inquiry, curiosity, and living life fully. She is a wise woman who has chosen to expand, share, teach and empower others by listening to her own call to help other single survivors find the light within them. Consider yourself blessed to have picked up this book.

Wendy De Rosa, Founder, School of Intuitive Studies, and author of Energy Healing Through the Chakras: A Guide to Self-Healing

This book takes the reader on a journey of a true survivor who took control of her own healing through diet, uncovering destructive patterns in her emotions, setting boundaries, and making her own health and well-being a priority. This book will help you know for sure that no matter what, you are never alone and you are always loved.

Nicole Gabriel, author of Finding Your Inner Truth

I so wish I had this book when I was single with cancer. It is so needed. Tracy has filled a void and will give hope to so many facing cancer alone. And what readers will find is that they are actually not alone. Being Single, with Cancer leaves no stone unturned.

Marcia Donziger, Founder, MyLifeLine.Org, and Ovarian Cancer Survivor

When I was diagnosed with cancer I was also single, and quite frankly, it sucked. But if given the choice today, Id likely choose Tracy Maxwells healing advice over a boyfriend! Like a best friend, Tracy tells the truth and cuts to the core of what we really need to hear as single survivors empowered to heal our deepest wounds while we conquer cancer. Tracy Maxwell is a truth-teller who challenges us to look inside instead of outside for the deeper, more permanent healing solutions we seek.

Emily Hine, Writer, Speaker, and Peace Officer, HolySit.com

Being Single, with Cancer is a powerful story of a cancer diagnosis unexpectedly turning out to be a blessing. Tracys story resonates with anyone facing difficult circumstances yet determined to fight their way through with an open heart.

Gina Marotta, Heart Healer and Truth Activator

Being Single, with Cancer is a powerful tool for single people facing cancer or other serious diseases. As a three-time cancer survivor and newlywed, Im personally aware of the difficulties of being single with a history of cancer. Tracys frank discussions and exercises are also very helpful for the single (and not-so-single) guys out there, though we might not be comfortable admitting it.

Jasan Zimmerman, Healthy Young Attitude Facilitator and Three-time Cancer Survivor

When youre facing a frightening new reality, you quickly discover how little you know about whats ahead. That makes you feel small, dumb, unprepared, and terrified. Gaining that knowledge leads to confidence, which leads to realistic preparation, which leads to faith, which leads to empowerment. Tracy knows this journey all too well, and reading her book will move you closer to empowerment so that you can spend less time stumbling and more time recovering.

T.J. Sullivan, Co-Founder and CEO, CAMPUSPEAK, and author of Motivating the Middle

All people really want to knowespecially those living with a diseaseis that others have experienced something similar and come out stronger on the other side. Living with cancer is lonely for anyone, but dealing with cancer while single can be exponentially more difficult. Tracy shares her struggles with her readers and, in the process, empowers them to keep pushing throughkeep living, and even to see the blessings in their illness. It takes an amazing amount of vulnerability to share yourself like Tracy has, and she has done so for the benefit of others.
