520 _aHow does cancer affect your most intimate relationships – with those you love and with yourself, as a woman? As women, we tend to see life through a relationship lens. But who are you now, as a woman with cancer? How does it affect your relationships? And how can you be not merely a cancer “patient” but a fully alive as a cancer survivor? Here, breast cancer survivor and journalist Jacquelyn Elnor Johnson tells the stories of women who are survivors, grappling with the challenges cancer treatment and recovery present while trying to come to terms with their own changed bodies, and changed identities as women living with cancer. If you’re a woman struggling to cope with cancer, wondering who you are now, and what your life can be, here is help and hope. It is also written for everyone who is or loves, lives with, works with or cares for a woman who is trying to live beyond cancer. In this book, cancer survivors share their challenges and triumphs, including what they’ve found to be most helpful in reclaiming full, satisfying and even joyous lives, after cancer. Originally published in 1987, this new 2017 edition has been edited and expanded with new stories and updated information.
