Lisa Lynch is 28 years old. She is perfectly healthy. Except for the lump in her left breast. The Grade 3 breast cancer lump. With no history of breast cancer in her family, this diagnosis surprises the hell out of Lisa Lynch.
This book follows Lisa's [mis]adventures while she copes with cancer, From the diagnosis through to the mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. The horror of losing her hair and having to pick a wig.
This book gives insight into the life of a cancer patient, fighter and survivor. Lisa cuts right through the candy-coated 'everything-will-be-okay' bullshit and deals with the cold hard facts of this life changing illness. It is funny, sad and amazing all-in-one type of book.
Lisa's story had me laughing and crying on every page as I followed her journey and I all I could do was hope and wish and dream that she was in remission and that her and her husband could lead the life they both dreamed of... But I won't spoil it for you... Read it for yourself and see where Lisa takes you...
