The question shocked me, five years into my fight with lung cancer. Was my enthusiasm about remaining treatment options so disheartening that even someone normally upbeat struggled to see the hope in my situation? Was the way I was thinking that foreign to how other people think?

Over the next year, I came to understand that having cancer had changed more than my body. It had changed how I think. I had grown. Not in spite of cancer, but because of it. Now I treasure every new part of this adventure, as I have learned to not only survive with lung cancer, but to thrive with it.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SECOND WIND

This is one of the most thoughtful and useful books I've read, and certainly a must-read for anyone in the health professions. Beyond that, it is an amazing book for any of us trying to live consciously on this planet… I loved reading this!!! I laughed out loud several times!

~ Dawn Doutrich, Ph.D., RN, CNS Emeritus, Washington State University College of Nursing

Second Wind is an emotionally gripping story of one person’s commitment to thrive with a cancer diagnosis. Each chapter provides coping tools to be successful on your own journey. The building blocks to assure thriving are all outlined.

There is a rare intimacy as Dann leads readers through his journey. The book is hard to put down. As a survivor I found myself saying, “I felt that, too!”

~ Charlotte de Renne, Breast Cancer Survivor

Dann's heartfelt, sincere account of his cancer journey touched me deeply. I experienced many thoughts and emotions as I turned each page. His work is inspirational and positive! The Challenge Exercises will help the reader create a path for living your best life.

I’m going to buy three copies when it is published. One copy will be for me, one for a friend that was newly diagnosed with stage IV cancer, and one for my oncologist.

~ Ginny Hicks, Stage IV Survivor and Advocate

Dann is an extraordinary writer. He has clarity of thought and a level of introspection that rings true, and I believe encapsulates the experience many of my patients have.

~ Sandip Patel, MD, Oncologist, UCSD Moores Cancer Center

This book is engaging, thought provoking and emotionally charged. Learning to meet and accept life with joy on life’s terms is no small task. From the plethora of emotions to managing relationships, and from fighting the stigma to becoming your own health care advocate, the writer shows us his roadmap.

I commend this writer for sharing his journey with truth.

~ Bill Hogan, Cancer Caregiver

This story is a very good map for beating cancer. It is also an excellent map for living an authentic, fulfilling and loving life. In some of the most intimate ways, Dann reveals who he is.

~ Charles Brown, DC DABCN, Chiropractic Neurologist

This writer invites you inside all aspects of his emotional, spiritual, and practical life as he goes toe-to-toe with cancer, and comes out a winner.

The book is authentic and packed with take-aways. Anyone, with or without cancer, can benefit from reading Second Wind.

~ Linda Wolff, OTR, Occupational Therapist

This is an uplifting read for anyone dealing adversity of any kind. It's honest and relatable, and made me evaluate my own perspective on life.

~ Lysa Buonanno, Lung Cancer Survivor, Advocate, and Blogger at https://lysabuonanno.wordpress.com/

Review

This is one of the most thoughtful and useful books I've read, and certainly a must-read for anyone in the health professions. This narrative will help health professionals learn to provide more supportive, compassionate, and collaborative care.

Beyond that, it is an amazing book for any of us trying to live consciously on this planet. Dann gives step by step, humorous, compassionate, and practical instructions for what worked for him to move towards becoming his best self.

I loved reading this!!! I laughed out loud!

~ Dawn Doutrich, Ph.D., RN, CNS Emeritus, Washington State University College of Nursing

There is a rare intimacy as Dann leads readers through his journey. The book is hard to put down. As a survivor I found myself saying, “I felt that, too!”

The book provided a way for me to reflect on how I handled fear, anger, and a host of other issues. By the end of the book I was asking, how did cancer lead me back to myself?

~ Charlotte de Renne, Breast Cancer Survivor

I commend this writer for sharing his journey with truth.

~ Bill Hogan, Cancer Caregiver

Dann is an extraordinary writer. He has clarity of thought and a level of introspection that rings true, and I believe encapsulates the experience many of my patients have. His positive attitude and limitless energy are reflected in his writing, and in particular, his uncanny ability to translate to paper his life as an open book.

~ Sandip Patel, MD, Oncologist, UCSD Moores Cancer Center

Fantastic start to finish true life story of Tragedy to Triumph! Dann’s personal cancer journey is filled with miracles and overcoming obstacles of getting to the other side. Proof there’s a path to happiness for anyone struggling and/or dealing with adversity (of any sort). Can’t recommend it enough!

~ Randall Broad, Lung Cancer Survivor and Author, ‘It’s an Extraordinary Life – Don’t Miss it’

I’m going to buy three copies when it is published. One copy will be for me, one for a friend that was newly diagnosed with stage IV cancer, and one for my oncologist.

~ Ginny Hicks, Stage IV Survivor and Advocate

Second Wind is honest, vulnerable and informative! It will open a lot of eyes about how to advocate for oneself. I especially like the exercises after each chapter.

While anyone with cancer will get a lot out of this book, I wish I could have read it three and a half years ago, when I was first diagnosed.

Congratulations, well done!

~ Dawn Horner, Lung Cancer Survivor and Advocate
