I knew a young woman back in the 1970s who had bone cancer in her leg, Her leg was amputated and she did not live long after that. Freud had to have a prothesis in his mouth when he had cancer in his jaw. Looking at pictures of that device, it must have been simple compared to the author's device. He called it a monster.
I have a precancer and dreading the future treatments when it becomes bad enough to treat. I am amazed of the author's ability to hang on!!! Surgery had to be first, only not one surgery before her doctors were even really to consider the next step of chemotherapy. The author did a truly amazing job of describing what she went through. Her journey is harrowing over and over again. References are in the back and the description of the surgeries lets you know how many low hours were needed and how difficult it was to get the results needed. I think that it is fortunate at the beginning that she had no idea of what the future would hold.
The writing is clear and engaging and the author even has a sense of humor that make me want to hug her so much.
I would like to give this book 25 stars if I could. I hope that everyone reads this book, it is so engaging, intelligent and well done,… (more)
