 Fantastic and Realistic Book that has Healing Power

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020

I have known this beautiful family since the 1990s’s when Richelle was my student at school and then I became her piano teacher. If you met this family you always felt included in their life. I have not seen them for way too long because they moved and I moved, but they are always in my heart and on my mind.

This book gives hope to those that have gone through, or are going through, something so life changing as cancer or loosing one to cancer.

Beautiful job, Shufei. I am so proud of all of you! Rich is looking down on all of you..
Until We Meet Again,

This Cancer Patient Talked About Acupuncture a Day Before his Death. Why?

/in /by

Rich: I just want to know when the pain is going to stop. ‘Cause I’ve had pain for over a year and I just want to get rid of it. Jesus. Pardon my French.

Scott: Okay, well, let’s talk about that. When it comes to the bone pain, you know, your doctors are going to give you pain medication. But let’s talk about your neuropathy. Okay, now there are things that you could do that’s non-medical.

Rich: Okay.

Scott: Okay, now do you exercise a lot?

Rich: I do. I walk, um, my wife does PT on my feet, um, I take supplements, um, yeah, we try to do everything. Acupuncture’s a big thing. The acupuncture takes the pain right away.

-Excerpt from Cancer is Kicking my Butt, but I’ve Got a Really Big Butt

Thirty-nine months ago today, Rich took his last breath. I take so much comfort in knowing that acupuncture relieved his pain. I took some time to connect with him this past Memorial Day weekend – I visited him at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois, and then reflected during some self-care time while getting cuppingl Thank you Tara Anderson for the cupping! Tara also does acupuncture and muscle therapy and is so wonderful!

A reader, Christopher, recently shared with me that they woke up in the middle of the night laughing about this passage in my book:

“Picture this. 1994 Spring, brand new parents bringing a three month old daughter to visit her grandparents in Taiwan. We woke up at 3 A.M. to catch the flight from St. Louis Airport. It was pitch black when we left our house and a two hour drive to the airport. Too many bags to carry and with baby Richelle. There was a 14 hour non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Taipei, Taiwan. We were 30,000 feet up in the air. Rich looked down at his feet and realized that he was wearing two different shoes since we left in such a rush. He laughed and I laughed. We both laughed hysterically.”

Rich used to be the class clown – everything he did was about fun and surprises. He is truly my ghost writer because without him, this book would not exist! Please share this with someone who could use a laugh!

Now that my first book has been out for a couple months, I wanted to start posting some reviews and feedback.

Thank you all for the support! Now that my book has been out for a couple of months, I wanted to start sharing some feedback I have received from readers. 

“This book perfectly captures how hard life feels after losing someone you love. Shufei and her family take you through their emotional journey of learning to cope after the loss of a husband and father to cancer. Shufei recounts her life with her husband, caring for him through his diagnosis, working and raising a family after his passing, and a phone call he recorded that she kept private for years. This book will transform the way you see events in your life. Nothing is coincidental – sometimes it just takes time for you to see the meaning behind what happens in your life.” -Kylie Wilson

His Last Call

/in /by

“This phone call took place on February 26th, 2017 at 1:30 P.M. on a sunny and windy day in Cedar Falls, Iowa, with a call from Long Island, New York. The conversation was between Rich and Scott, who were both Multiple Myeloma cancer patients that connected through the Multiple Myeloma Cancer Society. They were paired together through similar work experiences; both were engineers and supervisors in sales and management. Rich recorded the phone call for me, his wife, Shufei, and it just so happened to be one of his last conversations.”

This is the phone call that inspired me to write my first book, “Cancer is Kicking my Butt, but I’ve Got a Really Big Butt.” The circumstances surrounding this phone call, as well as how it helped me through my grieving journey are fully explained in the book, but will be touched on during in later episodes of my podcast.

My book is available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Kicking-Butt-but-Really/dp/B0863TWSGM/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=cancer+is+kicking+my+butt&qid=1588883167&sr=8-1
