My father traded his life for mine... and I chose to live. This is my story.” So begins the story of Suzanne Giroux. Born on the border between Quebec and Ontario, she lives her life walking a fine line between life and death. At the age of 24, Suzanne discovers a lump in her breast that turns out to be breast cancer, and she begins a struggle to maintain her sanity and her health. She tells of two miscarriages; her fiancé, the man of her dreams, falling in a construction accident and being reduced to a vegetative state; the man she finally does marry becoming abusive, indifferent, an alcoholic and an adulterer; and the return of her cancer after an operation to remove it fails. Rushing to her side, her distraught father tells her that he would give anything to trade places with her, to take her cancer into his body so she could be healthy. And then he is diagnosed with cancer as well. But not all is dark. On vacation, she meets a doctor who suggests she try to qualify for the drug Herceptin, which stops the growth of tumours in breast cancer and sometimes even shrinks them. Giroux begins the treatments, but as she gets better, her father becomes worse, and she loses him at the same time her marriage falls apart.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuzanne Giroux\u003c\/strong\u003e was born on October 3, 1967 in the town of Cornwall.

Increasingly, Canadians are asking themselves this question. We hear the horror stories every day: hospital hallways lined with patients; long waiting lists for cancer treatment; a shortage of high-tech equipment. No wonder confidence in medicare, Canada’s most cherished social program, has fallen to a historic low. In \u003ccite\u003eCode Blue: Reviving Canada’s Health Care System\u003c\/cite\u003e, David Gratzer takes a close look at our health care system — from the overcrowded emergency rooms of Montreal hospitals, to the thriving practices of Canadian doctors who have decided to head south. He explores our misconceptions about the American health care system, analyzes demographic trends, and exposes the emptiness of political debate on the subject. Gratzer argues convincingly that the problems with medicare stem from its very structure, a structure that will only continue to weaken as Canada’s population grows older. Do the commonly proposed solutions to these problems — increased funding, two-tiered services, better management, user fees — really have what it takes to correct such major flaws? Gratzer concludes they don’t, and looks at several models in other countries before writing his own prescription for ours. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Gratzer\u003c\/strong\u003e is a medical student at the University of Manitoba.

The story of the founder of the Comfort Heart Initiative is as inspiring as the power of the Comfort Hearts themselves. Carol Ann Cole was born in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, and at the age of 18 left to find a career in the “big city” of North Bay, eventually landing a job at Bell Canada. As she began to climb the ranks of the company in the early 1970s, she realized the obstacles that faced a single woman in the corporate world, especially a single mother. But she continued to persevere and became one of the first female vice presidents of one of the country’s biggest corporations. And then her world came crashing down. Within days both Carol Ann and her mother were diagnosed with breast cancer. While Carol Ann was able to beat it, the loss of her mother later that year had a monumental impact on her life. When she walked into a pewter store and discovered the Worry Hearts, small hearts that you would rub in times of stress, she knew she’d found the way to give back to the cancer community. By altering the design and renaming them Comfort Hearts, Carol Ann created the Comfort Heart Initiative and to date has raised over one million dollars for cancer research. That little piece of pewter has become a talisman for over 160,000 Canadians and their families. This is a story of determination and courage, and how you can accomplish all your goals if you put your mind — and heart — to it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarol Ann Cole\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professional speaker with her own business, Colemind, and the Comfort Heart Initiative continues to grow and have a life of its own.

But she kept her silence about her gifts. After two disastrous marriages, and desperate to protect her daughters from harm, Judy finally embraced her gifts and moved forward to a new spiritual level. In this book, Judy demonstrates a typical “reading,” from the moment someone enters her space and through the various phases of therapy. Specific case studies help us to understand the depths of our own psychic talents, and we see many examples of people who have been helped by Judy to sort out their inner demons — by using their own “psychic” resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of what Judy Brown can foresee is based on what each of us conveys by the way we talk, the way we act, the way we live.

After knowing other friends with anorexia and being baffled by their behavior (often wondering, “Why doesn’t she just eat?!”) Moisin suddenly found herself prone to the same disease, not eating at all and going weeks at a time taking in nothing but water and the occasional black coffee. She learns how to deceive the therapists her worried family sends her to, giving them all of the symptoms of depression so they’ll misdiagnose her and let her continue to be anorexic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen she recognizes that she has a serious problem, though, she finally owns up to a therapist working at her university. She tells him that she’s an anorexic who needs to go to some group meetings to work through her condition. He looks at her doubtfully and says, “No, I don’t think you’re an anorexic.” All that runs through her mind is that she must be fat. Shortly after this devastating therapy visit, the Twin Towers fall in the September 11th attacks, and Moisin watches it happen from her apartment window. Her ensuing depression quickens her already dangerous downward spiral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eKid Rex\u003c\/cite\u003e is a book about hope, and looking to oneself and to those around you to help get out from under the hold of such a dreadful and powerful disease. This book is written for people who are also suffering from anorexia to let them know they’re not alone, but Moisin never takes on a know-it-all tone. Books on anorexia that are currently available are either preachy, or more commonly, clinical accounts written by doctors, not people suffering from the disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also written for families and friends who find themselves unable to understand why their loved one won’t just eat. When Moisin goes to a clinic and they plop down a tray of food in front of her, even the most sceptical reader will gasp and realize what an unsympathetic thing they’ve done to her. Moisin actually puts the reader into the head of someone suffering from anorexia, in beautiful and moving prose.

For 25 years his weekly newspaper column has reached five million readers in Canada. And his common-sensical, folksy style has endeared him to many.

It’s the inside story of his battle against huge odds to legalize heroin to ease the agony of terminal cancer pain. The toll it took on his family when he decided to perform legal abortions.
