Noelle Rose Andressen shares an intimate journey how she put her life back together after conquering breast cancer in the most unpredictable way one could have fathomed. The weakest thing about her at the time, her body, became a vessel of love to share messages of HOPE and story-telling through her dynamic dancing. The physical obstacles were great including the protective walls around her heart from past hurts and "soul woundings." She overcame and learned to love again by reaching out to a beautiful stranger with her gift. She not only healed her body but learned to love again by loving another; which may be the greater success than the former. This is Volume One in the Dance Warrior Book Series: Cancer to Dancer. It is primarily based on her true life accounts overcoming extreme adversity and was not only was victorious, but she went on to dance again and do many other amazing things. There are lovely spiritual themes of joy and turning tragedy into triumph to inspire you to help you find encouragement and your purpose in this life beyond the suffering. "We've all been touched by some form of tragedy. You can rebuild and be inspired by my steps. I dance and share my scars so that you will know that you too can heal. Do not despair for all is not lost. Whatever it is you're facing, you too can overcome. My goal is to give HOPE to those who may find themselves in a similar situation and place of destitution where they ask themselves, "Okay, now what?!" or for those who have shards of their lives laying on the ground before them in a huge jumbled mess. Many today find themselves in the predicament of not knowing if they can regain all that was lost. Let my testimony encourage everyone: all that was lost can be regained. All can be reclaimed once again. Let me also add this: it may not be in the way you expected. I can attest that it will most likely be in the most unlikely way you could ever have imagined. I encourage you to take that grand journey and join me as I relive mine with you in these pages. Turn your tragedy into a triumph.

"I am going to use my healing journey to help others going through this or any other difficult challenge in their life and I'm going to dance through it." Pat documented four years of her journey. She bared her thoughts, emotions, heart, breasts, bald head, and soul to show others that they really can do more than survive an illness. They can thrive. Live. Laugh. Love. Dance! The Cancer Dancer is a result of this documentation.

When American saxophonist and social activist Fred Ho was diagnosed with stage 3b colo-rectal cancer in 2006 he underwent immediate surgery to remove the tumor and began preparing for chemotherapy. Within days his friends mobilized to arrange grocery deliveries, transport, companionship, and housekeeping duties—they called themselves “Warriors for Fred.” Fred chose to write his astonishing cancer memoir as a diary, acknowledging that all the greatest warriors from Sun Tzu to swordsman Murasashi to Bruce Lee wrote daily diaries because warfare against a most formidable enemy will be won, ultimately, on the philosophical level. With incredibly detailed entries Fred talks frankly about his battle—his meticulous research, his various treatments, his successes, and his failures. Together, he and his loved ones discuss plans for future artistic projects: a new opera on Antony and Cleopatra, a project with a native Alaskan totem carver, and an underwater ballet for synchronized swimmers. He learns to find joy in the simple things: the beauty of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, a fresh pork bun, or a night of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. Above all, we learn what it means to truly live in the present—through Fred’s unflinching description of the effects of colon cancer—and about his search not just for “a cure” in a medical sense, but for true healing. For Fred, this includes understanding the way of the warrior—one who fights for beauty, justice, health, equity, and sustainability.
