Loving Your Friend Through Cancer with Marissa Henley
When Marissa Henley learned on the day before she turned 34 that she had a rare form of a deadly, aggressive cancer, her first thoughts were of her young children. Would she live long enough to take her youngest to kindergarten. Her diagnosis sent her on a journey to find the best treatment which meant long separations from her family. In her book, Loving Your Friend Through Cancer, Marissa weaves her story in the context of how to walk with a friend through the battle of her life. Marissa equips us to not only know how to respond practically but how to better understand the questions and fears of a cancer fighter. In her conversation with Sharon Betters, also a cancer survivor, Marissa gives listeners a taste of the treasures in her book and her passion for equipping those who love cancer fighters to walk with them in the battle for their lives.
