“To know the road ahead,
ask those coming back” (Chinese
Proverb)
A voice of many, brief glimpses
into breast cancer journey of
125 survivors, all celebrating
good years and even decades of
survival. Non-medical and an easy
read about a difficult subject.
Participants come from the U.S.
and Canada but also beyond, sharing
their journey through diagnosis,
first reactions, various treatments,
aftermath, facing death, and reclaiming
life. They explore dealing with
doctors, fear of recurrence, optimism,
support systems, spirituality,
and humor. As a combined voice
of hope and help for newcomers
who are just starting this challenging
journey, this book offers user-friendly,
practical tips through selected
personal comments from others
who have been there. |

Every chapter has uplifting, thought-provoking
quotes such as
“Enjoy what you can, endure what you must.”
(Goethe)
Early 2004, we sent out questionnaires to breast cancer survivors
(click here for the questionnaire).
The entries have made this book a useful, profound gift to others
embarking on the road of breast cancer.
