Reviews
"Eye-opening, poignant and real. All medical professionals could benefit from reading this book; I know I will be better for it, as will my patients. It gives raw insight into what it's like for the patient. For doctors and nurses, some of it may sting a little, as we have all, at one time or another, surely gone through the motions of our day on autopilot. We'd do well to remember the patient does not do this every day. Cancer is scary and devastating and they have not chosen it. The author's narrative voice is refreshing--much like a conversation. Her book is so much more than a story of cancer. It can truly shed light on a new mindset of health and wellness." - A. Boitano, DNP, CNN, WHNP-BC
"Carol’s voice is irreverent, upbeat, pissed off, enthusiastic, assured, and vulnerable — somehow all at the same time. I’m not sure how she pulled that off, but she did, and she did it extremely well.
It’s easy to get swept along the ride of Carol’s (very reluctant) journey to radiation and chemo. Her critiques of the “health care” industry in America are spot on, told in a voice that seems to still be struggling to find an answer to the question, “But _why_?” She finds plenty of answers along the way — about herself, her motivations, her God-given, inherent goodness — but never one that satisfies that particular itch.
This is a beautiful glimpse into a very interesting life, one that’s had its share of bumps and bruises but, like any well-rounded soul, has come out better for it on the other side. Carol’s story is equal parts laugh-out-loud-funny, infuriating, and wistful. A truly great read." - Dawn H.
"Wow! From devastation to raw humor and strong faith, this author leaves nothing out! A great read for any woman as breast cancer has touched all of our lives, either personally or from a loved one." -Terri Skala
