About the author:

A few of John’s thoughts about the book.

John Schulz tells us, “I lost my vocal cords a while back due to throat cancer. The laryngectomy sent me on a quest to find and learn to use my new, altered voice. I am able to talk now with a really small and neat new prosthesis and I now think it’s funny that through all of the changes I have found that my writing has become my new voice.

Now when I laugh, it’s like the wind through the trees

When I was first told that I had cancer, I was immediately concerned with many questions and fears. The cancer center gave me a book that didn’t really help and I decided that I could keep a journal and write the book that I would have liked to have at that time. Three or four years later, that’s where Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days came from. I have written it to help people understand a bit of what is going on and to calm a few fears. I am a firm believer in the curative powers of optimism and I firmly believe that, “Everything is going to be all right.”

My writing reflects what I have learned in the search for my voice. My site johnschulzauthor.com publishes a daily motivational quote and a personal comment which I call “Quotes and Notes.” The articles developed as an offshoot of “Sweetie” and are rather popular.

I write an article every week or two for the blog, johntheplantman.com which deals with a lot of the things that I do in the garden.

I am also the author of Requiem for a Redneck and the new Redemption for a Redneck—funny and sensitive novels portraying the lives and doings of folks around the north Georgia hills. I am working on the third part of the Trilogy, Resurrection for a Redneck.

I have an English Education degree from the University of Georgia and very happily married to the lovely Dekie Hicks.

About the book

Here is the Foreword of the book which should explain it well:

Foreword–Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days

At the end of my first visit to the cancer clinic, they gave me a book. I was happy to get the book because I thought it would answer my questions and calm my fears. I brought the book home, made a cup of coffee, and sat down to read and to calm my concerned and fearful mind.

The book was a disappointment. I read some of it, scanned the rest of it, and then threw it aside and went outside to work in my flower bed and meditate. My questions went unanswered and I was left to deal with my fears and other concerns on another level. To help ease my mind I started a journal. I decided that if I had to find my own answers I would keep track of the process.

I found that writing out my thoughts and feelings every day or so helped me to deal with both past and present concerns. I entered the maze of cancer treatments with an open mind and with a high level of curiosity. After a while, after paying attention to what was happening in my life on physical, clinical, and psychological levels, and after having countless discussions with fellow cancer victims, I decided to approach the cancer experience with the goal of writing the book that I would have liked to have received when I first found out that I had cancer. I wanted a book for care givers and friends of cancer victims that would also help them to understand.

That is why I wrote this book. I wanted to help others who are just finding out that they have cancer by presenting some of the information that I learned during my own experiences. I also was able to grasp several concepts that were valuable to me at the time and which have enriched my life since. Looking back, the concepts seemed simple but before my cancer experience, they were unreachable.

The cancer experience left me with several battle scars which I will tell about, but it also left me with an enriched outlook on life. I am a firm believer in the magic involved in approaching adversities such as this with optimism, humor, and an overall good attitude. We can learn optimism and we can choose our own attitude.
