COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sherri and John Snoad are a married couple who shared intertwined experiences as a cancer patient-survivor and caregiver. In "Welcome to the Other Side!" (published by Balboa Press), they recount their incredible and inspiring saga through the often arduous road of cancer and recovery.
This book is a dual perspective of a cancer patient-survivor and caregiver written as a conversational story designed to offer hope and guidance to others. Here, the authors chronicle and intertwine the parallel experiences of patient and caregiver, allowing readers to see cancer journey and recovery through two totally different lenses. While the book recaps their cancer story of diagnosis and treatment, it also delves deep into the post-cancer struggles which, at times, seemed like an inescapable abyss. Topics such as intimacy and sex, socializing with others again, overcoming triggers that create paralyzing fear and anxiety, regaining independence from science and medicine, survivor's guilt, or simply the search for normalcy, are explored. At the end of each chapter are valuable takeaways and resources to help survivors and caregivers not simply survive and exist, but to thrive both individually and with loved ones.
"We want both survivors and caregivers to realize they are not alone. Feeling lost and afraid during recovery while trying to discover the new normal is not unusual, yet it is seldom talked about. A new normal must be forged without truly grieving for the loss of the person and life lived prior to cancer," Sherri and John state. "This book gives solid guidance to help people discover they can not only move on but it is possible to thrive both individually and as a couple. We want readers to feel comfortable and gain confidence knowing there is an army of people out there just like them, trying to find their way out of the darkness of cancer."
As cancer research advances, more and more people are becoming cancer survivors, "Welcome to the Other Side!" will be a great addition to wealth of literary work on cancer recovery and care.

About the Authors
Sherri Snoad, a career nurse and wellness specialist, was diagnosed with cancer and is now a proud survivor. Throughout a career in nursing, she worked with a variety of patients, including oncology patients, providing care, compassion and comfort with hugs or words of encouragement. As both nurse and survivor, she provides an extraordinarily unique perspective. She went from running half marathons to spending weeks in the hospital, to full recovery. From day one, "Cancer doesn't define me!" was her mantra; it comes through loud and clear.
For nearly 35 years, co-author, "Coach" John Snoad, could be found storming the sidelines as a high school football coach and teaching history and government to eager students. Organization and meticulous planning led this author to a successful teaching and coaching career. Then cancer struck. He had to transition his skills and apply them in his new role as caregiver. He turned caregiving into a game plan. John's approach serves as a guide for navigating the uncharted world of caregiving. He was always an advocate for his students and athletes, but now he had to become a full-time advocate for the most important person in his life.
