RESOURCES FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY BATTLING OR HAVE BEATEN CANCER
Gary Karp has a long resume as an architect, emergency management planner, internationally recognized public speaker, corporate trainer and the author of three books.
On the heels of
completing 35 radiation treatments over seven weeks, he can add throat cancer
survivor to that list.
While you might think writing Life on Wheels: The A-to-Z Guide to Living
with Mobility Issues would have prepared Karp, a T12 para, for his battle
with cancer, his experience reveals a more disheartening truth.
“I have come across no resources specific to cancer and being a wheelchair
user,” he says.
“I have not encountered another person in the course of this experience who also is paralyzed.
Cancer treatment providers just don’t have a
lot of experience with it.”
