Genre:
A BREAST CANCER JOURNEY: Living It One Step at a Time
by Jennifer A. Douglas
Breast cancer is a journey none of us wants to take. When we hear the words, “You have breast cancer” our lives freeze. What do we do now?
The author, Jennifer, was diagnosed with DCIS, stage zero breast cancer, after her second annual mammogram and quickly found herself navigating a new world filled with biopsies, treatment decisions, and overwhelming emotions. She discovered that stage zero breast cancer doesn’t mean zero challenges.
Her journey, along with those of other breast cancer patients, are woven throughout each chapter. Alongside the personal experiences is information that will help you decipher complicated imaging reports and recover from your procedures as comfortably as possible. You will find answers to questions ranging from “What are different types of breast cancer” to “What surgery is right for me?” to “I’m done with treatment; why isn’t everything back to normal?”
We need all answers to these questions and more, right now, and we may not know what questions to ask. A Breast Cancer Journey: Living It One Step at a Time will help you walk through your journey feeling encouraged and empowered with knowledge and support.
