Bald Courage: Gentle Wisdom on the Cancer Journey

Bald Courage: Gentle Wisdom on the Cancer Journey

When you’re facing chemotherapy, some days you need answers.

Other days, you simply need encouragement.

Bald Courage by Randy Peyser is the bedside companion she

wished she’d had during her own chemotherapy journey.

Filled with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and

moments of humor, this inspiring book offers hope one page

at a time for anyone navigating cancer treatment or supporting a loved one.

Hope.

Courage.

Encouragement.

One Page at a Time.

When life changes with a cancer diagnosis,

the journey can feel overwhelming.

Bald Courage is a compassionate companion written

by cancer survivor Randy Peyser to offer

comfort, wisdom, practical insights, and

even laughter throughout chemotherapy.

This is the book she wished someone had placed

in her hands during her own treatment—so she wrote it for you.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Chemotherapy brings questions, emotions, uncertainty, and moments when you simply need someone who understands.

Bald Courage isn’t another medical textbook. It’s an uplifting bedside companion you can open to almost any page to find encouragement, perspective, and practical wisdom from someone who has walked the journey herself.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, currently receiving treatment, recovering after chemotherapy, or supporting someone you love, this remarkable book offers hope one day at a time.

Written From Experience

After experiencing chemotherapy herself, Randy Peyser realized there was one book she wished someone had given her.

When she couldn’t find it, she wrote it.

Her hope is beautifully simple: if even one page helps make one difficult day a little easier, then the book has fulfilled its purpose.
