Are you reeling from your cancer diagnosis and treatment but equally determined to make the most of the rest of your life?

Are you looking for a roadmap to help you determine just who and what is next?

Are you tired of putting yourself last and determined to Live Your Best Life Now?

My name is Kathy Santini and if any of the above questions resonated with you I know exactly how you feel. I know people say that all the time, but I really, really do. You see, I myself am a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. I also work with cancer survivors in my workshops and coaching practice.

If you’re like me and the millions of survivors before you, you’re aware as never before just how very, very precious your life is. You’ve lost your naïve and all too human belief that you’re immortal and that time is an unlimited resource. And you’ve decided that you want to use your time consciously and thoughtfully, doing things that you love with those that you love.

As someone who has gone through a cancer diagnosis myself, I know that after focusing so much time and energy on treatment and on surviving, once treatment is finished, you find yourself at loose ends. Contrast this to your family and friends, who no matter how well meaning are relieved that “it’s over,” and usually more than ready to get back to whatever normal was before your diagnosis.

But like all archetypal heroes and heroines who are forced to fight battles in unknown lands, you have returned from your experience a changed person. After surgery and treatment, you find yourself looking out over a totally new landscape, even though it’s one you’ve known intimately for years. While the physical geography of your outside world hasn’t changed, your interior world has.

Because of your cancer experience, you now know as never before just how precious life is. This old adage, that many proclaim, isn’t just lip service to you; it’s now part of your DNA. And it begs the question: how do you want to spend the rest of your life?

If you’re like many survivors, the answer is “thoughtfully.” Some of the women I work with following a cancer diagnosis turn their lives upside down, as they go about planning their new lives. Others discover that their lives are exactly as they want them and they don’t make any changes. Still others adjust certain areas of their lives, to find more fulfillment.

But almost all of them, in my experience, use their diagnosis as an opportunity to re-examine their lives. They look at what’s working, what isn’t and begin navigating the next stage of their journey.

What’s behind all this? A cancer diagnosis or any life threatening illness is often
re-orienting and can bring about a massive change of priorities. It raises questions about what really matters to the survivor, which may or may not be different than to the person they were before cancer. Survivors often start thinking about what, if any, major or minor changes need to be made. They look at what is damaging to them at a soul and body level and what sustains and nourishes them. A cancer diagnosis or any life threatening illness can:

• Bring an end to a phase of life;
• Raise questions about the meaning of life;
• Test the bonds of relationships;
• Provide you with an opportunity to learn why you are here and what and who really matter;
• Serve as a wakeup call to examine what has been resisted;
• Create the opportunity to start living a more authentic life;
• Make you look at what’s left for you to do;
• Give you permission to shift your priorities;
• Give you a hunger for life that might not have always been there;
• Create the time to take a deeper, more spiritual look at your life;
• Give you first-hand knowledge about the importance of focusing on living in the present moment;
• Provide an incentive to experience happiness and joy, regardless of the circumstances and;
• Help you realize just how insignificant and unimportant most of our every day concerns are.

• Increase the quality of your life by identifying the major areas of your life that need attention or to be changed, be it – money; family and friends; career; health; personal growth; work and home environments; significant other/ romance and fun and recreation.
• Become very, very clear about which hopes and dreams you want to keep on the shelf and which ones you want to dust off and pursue.
• Have a very clear, personal vision of the kind of life you want to create and live post-cancer, which will act as your North Star as you go about creating it; increasing the chances that you’ll achieve it.
• Remain motivated as you pursue your vision with the help of a vision board similar to the one used in The Secret.
• Increase the chances that you’ll create a life worth living. You’ll now know what you must have in your life to make your life worth living, whether or not that means keeping up with the Joneses.
• Know the reasons why what’s important to you is missing from your life.
• Find decision making easier, now that you know what’s important in your life.
• Find reaching your goals far easier, by using a simple formula that successful people know and use.
• Know exactly where you spend your time and whether or not it reflects your chosen, not apparent priorities.
• Have time in your life for the activities and people you want, after identifying and eliminating the ones that don’t reflect your current priorities from your schedule.
• Free up more time after identifying your personal time wasters that don’t bring you joy.
• Do a clean sweep of the people and things you were previously tolerating.
• Be quicker at identifying the negative tapes we all have playing in our heads which stop you from reaching your goals.
• Be more adept at dealing with your negative tapes, now that you’ve got your own personal arsenal to handle them.
• Be more self-assured after replacing negative tapes with more positive ones.
• Feel less worried about a recurrence, after creating some strategies to deal with your fear.
• Find it easier to move forward despite your fears, once you understand what your fears are costing you in the way of a happy and fulfilling life.
• Find yourself moving towards your dreams, having learned how to expand your comfort zone.
• Enjoy the benefits of practicing better self-care, now that you know that being selfish isn’t a four-letter word, but everyone’s right.
• Find people respecting you and your wishes more, now that you’re better at communicating and setting boundaries and;
• Find yourself surrounded by people who lift you up instead of drag you down, after letting go of friends and acquaintances who don’t support you.

As author Kathy Santini, herself a cancer survivor points out, life views are fundamentally and forever changed by a cancer diagnosis. As part of living her own "best life," Kathy has designed this compact book (130 pages, including exercises and homework) as a written replacement or complement for the in-person coaching and workshops she frequently facilitates on Vancouver Island and throughout Canada. Santini summarizes material that will be familiar territory for many survivors, including reflections on "what now?" - making meaning from your cancer experience post treatment, clarifying values and how they fit with daily living, facing your fears, self-care, boundary setting, finding and building supports, developing SMART goals - and finding ways of living consciously. The materials here are adapted from diverse sources in psychology and will provide a useful starting point for reading and reflection. My favourite parts of the book were Kathy's stories about her own life experiences. I wanted more depth and detail in these stories and fewer written exercises, but that may not be true for readers who are cancer survivors looking for strategies in living post-treatment. Kathy's overall tone is upbeat but not "Pollyannaish," and I particularly appreciated a portion of the book entitled, "You Didn't Cause Your Cancer." since this issue - and the tyranny of positive thinking it can create - is something most survivors can definitely do without.

I’m Kathy Santini and as a life and business coach and cancer survivor, I personally want to see all cancer survivors leading happy and meaningful lives after cancer. I want you to be able to say that your life is better now after cancer than it was before your diagnosis. I know it’s possible because I’ve done it myself. And I know you can too, if you follow the exercises and steps in this book.

After my diagnosis, I took a hard look at my life, especially at who and what really mattered. And discovered that at the top of my list was me! Consequently, after my diagnosis I:

• Quit my secure government job;
• Nursed my Mother who was dying of breast cancer during the last week of her life;
• Did humanitarian work in war-torn Sierra Leone;
• Spent four months sailing through the Caribbean and the Bahamas;
• Built a house;
• Became a life and business coach;
• Worked as an editor in a war zone in Kabul, Afghanistan and;
• Took coach training and started my own coaching business.

In short, I created a happy and meaningful life and can show you how to do the same. Live Your Best Life Now! The Cancer Survivor’s Guide to Creating a Happy and Meaningful Life was written to help you create the kind of life described in the title after cancer. I do this with the knowledge I’ve accumulated on life after cancer, including: my personal experience and the experiences of other cancer survivors; book knowledge gleaned from devouring books on the subject; cancer support groups, participating in a world conference on breast cancer; nursing my mother who died from breast cancer during the last week of her life and through coaching cancer survivors and leading workshops for them. Add tried-and-true coaching methods and exercises to the mix and you’ve got a powerful potion; all this combined is the means to a happy and meaningful life.

Here is just some of the important information you’ll learn in these 100 plus pages of easy reading:

• Why it’s important to be here now and to live your best life now.

Wondering about the cost of this incredible resource?

This information would cost you hundreds of dollars if you hired your own personal coach. With newer coaches charging anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars a month and up and world-renowned coaches like Tony Robbins charging way, way more, the book is very affordable at $19.95 USD.

And even more so if you compare the price of the book to what it would cost you to attend an all day seminar with a well-respected coach. Not to mention the fact that if you’re like most people, a few days later after coming down from your seminar high, you’ll have lost your motivation to make the changes you rushed out of the seminar determined to make.

The good news is that I’m not going to charge you anywhere near what you’d pay for your own coach or to attend a seminar, and better yet less than most books by only charging $19.95 USD. And the good news doesn’t stop there. You can stay right where you are and begin reading it immediately by downloading it now.

Think about this – My book is less than the price of a good dinner, with your choice of wine of course! And less than the cost of two tickets to a movie, or three DVD rentals at your local video store. That’s not including the popcorn!

The tools and coaching wisdom in my book will help you create a happy and meaningful life – a life that leaves you eager to get up every day and go to bed “good,” tired at night. A life you can honestly say is better now after cancer than before it.

More Testimonials

Before coaching, I felt overwhelmed by a number of things that I had let go of for years, including un-filed tax returns and messy finances, both business and personal. These messes were impacting all aspects of my life. Worse yet, I couldn’t see how to move forward or make the changes that I knew I needed to make. There was so much to do and I didn’t know where to start. Bringing Kathy into my life brought the support, focus and energy I needed. Once I hired Kathy, my successes were immediate. The excitement that came from succeeding at something that had stymied me for so long was incredible. We’ve only been coaching for five weeks and yet I’ve accomplished so much. I can’t wait to see what my life will look like in six months. — Gail, consultant/trainer, Victoria.

With Kathy’s coaching (perceptive, challenging and always with a sense of humour) I was able to discover a roadblock that was holding me back in my personal and professional life. And I was able to somehow get back in touch with that part of me that I had left behind – the magical, excitable, courageous me. — Cathy, consultant, Victoria.

For me, working with Kathy is like finding a light switch in a darkened corridor. Her gentle guidance through areas where I could not initially see a way helped me enormously. She coaches with empathy, energy and most importantly encouragement in finding the right solution to one’s problems. — Annabel, pro-democracy advocate and writer, Washington, D.C.
