RESOURCES
JL Barker - jlbarker.org
JoAnna Barker is a 20- something who defeated cancer
and wrote a book about it. You'll laugh, you'll cry and
then you'll find multiple references to books and movies
that she some how related to cancer. Don't be fooled,
if you don't have cancer you'll still love this book. It's
a great read for people with cancer, people who love
people with cancer and people who just want to know
how to relate. We hope you enjoy this reading journey.
Trust us, it's not what you'll expect!
Life on Pause - tinyurl.com/xhnb9mwk
Life On Pause is a podcast for and by young adults
living with cancer. Each month, young adult cancer
patients from Penn State Health share honestly about
their cancer diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards.
As cancer causes the group to reflect on issues both
large and small, surprisingly relatable stories and
themes emerge. From relationships to body functions,
nothing is off the table.
Negative Space - thenegativespace.life
Inspired by the art concept of negative space,
defined as the space around and between a subject,
Allison Breininger's site is dedicated to shining
light on caregivers who are often unseen and
underappreciated, but are essential components of
the patients' well-being. At thenegativespace.life
she writes honestly and openly about the realities of
caregiving and by doing so creates a safe community
for caregivers to feel seen, heard and appreciated.
Wife, Widow, Now What? -

and self-help by a cancer spouse/significant other for
other spouses/significant others or those navigating
the cancer process. In addition Rachel includes all the
music she listened to during her journey, if you'd like
to make a playlist for your reading pleasure.
