My Mom is 71 and was just diagnosed with a brain tumor, and will begin treatment shortly. I could go to the local Borders or Barnes & noble to buy a book on what to do when a loved one has cancer. But I’d rather get something that other faithful Catholics can recommend that is cancer-specific. I have general spiritual books like Father Groeschel’s “Arise from Darkness” and C.S. Lewis’ “The Problem of Pain”, which deal with a broad range of painful topics, but I would like to know if anyone can recommend a more specific book for trying to help the cancer patient.

Thank you.

The Diary of St. Faustina. I wish someone had introduced me to Divine Mercy when I was fighting cancer. No doubt in my mind on this.

Many years ago when I had my crisis the book that was helpful to me was, “Seeds of Contemplation” by Fr. Thomas Merton.

Another Fr. Merton book that is quite soothing to me is " Thoughts in Solitude".

Hope this helps.
 
Thank you everyone. I really appreciate these ideas. God bless!
