OOPS! Did I Say That is a guide to positive support for cancer patients. It is a picture book intended for all ages. Parents, family, friends, and visitors of cancer patients always struggle with what to say to be supportive or encouraging. This book helps all visitors and caregivers to be sensitive to the emotional and psychological challenges. Inspired by her own experience with cancer at the age of 14, Sarah K. Johnson created this book in the hopes of helping the caregivers to relay their genuine concern for a patient.
