This Changes Everything is Edward Dufresne's moving and brave account of his cancer journey and a guide to finding joy and hope in difficult times.

A Lutheran pastor, Dufresne discovered he had cancer just as he was about to embark as chaplain on a world cruise. Instead of boarding a ship to see the many wonders of the world, Dufresne and his wife traveled to Boston to visit the renowned Dana Farber Cancer Institute in search of new and innovative treatments. He writes with remarkable candor and humor about the ups and downs of this journey. He also delves into the ways his faith sustained him, despite many setbacks.

Dufresne's hope was always to help others navigate their way through the layers and complications of cancer to live their best life.
