Gathering Stones:
One Woman's Personal Journey Through Cancer
New Booklet Now Available on Our Website as a Free Download.
This booklet is written by a grateful BMT survivor, Martha Nielsen, an nbmtLINK volunteer.
Please understand that this is not a book about how to conquer cancer. I make no attempt to give medical advice or provide information about miraculous treatments. I have written these words with the hope that someone else might benefit from methods I used to help myself cope and lessons I gleaned as I muddled my way through and fought my way back to health.
