Reviews
"I read her first book, Chemo Pissed Me Off and couldn’t wait to read this sequel, more focused on the reconstructive phase of cancer recovery. I couldn’t put it down. It reads like a memoir that takes readers on an emotional journey through reconstruction surgery, difficult family dynamics, and the countless challenges and detours she faced along the way. Heart-wrenching at times. Yet, she faces each one with courage, hope, and humor.
Her story isn’t just about breast cancer; it’s about redefining beauty and discovering healing that transcends the physical. Her ability to make even the heaviest topics approachable is remarkable, and her unwavering faith interwoven throughout adds depth and inspiration.
It’s no wonder this book is a #1 New Release. I recommend this book for those seeking encouragement and hope as they navigate the messy waters of breast cancer reconstruction. You will feel like you’ve gained a special friend. This is also a valuable read for medical professionals treating patients who are living this reality." - Kim Kinney
"Author, Carol Wyllie, walks us through her journey to reclaim her body after cancer treatments by having breast reconstruction. It turns out to be a drawn out and often nightmarish trek through the medical system. Her recount is raw and painful to read, but her strong faith in a loving God and her wry sense of humor make the story a tribute to her grit and persistance. A great help for all of us to learn to be gracious under pressure, to forgive ourselves when we "lose it", and to sustain an attitude of gratitude throughout. Strongly recommend this book!" - Katherine K.
"I loved this book and her first Chemo Pissed Me Off. I could relate so much with both books. It was great because I could let my husband and kids read parts of the book and tell them yep that’s exactly what it’s like. Great author. Thank you so much for writing these books. I want to buy a few copies and leave them at my oncology clinic where I’m currently getting my second 12 rounds of chemo." - Patti Larson
