Non-Fiction Memoir
Cancer Survivor Sharon Parker Is on a Mission.
Sharon Parker
thought she had a bad case of allergies. But as time went
on, she felt instinctively that allergies were not the
problem. Sharon asked for a chest x-ray. The x-ray results
led to more tests and confirmed her worst fears. She had
cancer. As if that news weren’t bad enough, Sharon soon
learned that she had two separate cancers—Hodgkin’s Disease
and thyroid
cancer.
Determined to fight the diseases that threatened
her life, Sharon sought out Dr. Andre Goy, internationally
known hematologist oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston. Thanks to his expertise and treatment, she is
alive. Now, in her memoir,
Look Out Cancer, Here I Come, Sharon Parker tells her
own story of survival and draws from her experience to offer
encouragement to others. Among the advice she shares:
• Follow your instincts to get more
tests. People are misdiagnosed everyday. • Don’t
be afraid to ask questions of health professionals.
• During treatment, surround yourself with
positive people. • Focus on today and plan for
tomorrow. • Don’t underestimate the power of
caregivers and those who offer help. Today,
Sharon’s mission is raising money for lymphoma research
through her book and through the Life Lover Foundation,
which she founded.
