What Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stronger - Kate Henwood

"You've got cancer" - three little words that can change your life. "What Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stronger" is the honest, straight-from-the-heart account of one woman's experience of hearing these three words. Right from the start, it follows every step of this journey - and it IS a journey - the tears and laughter, the ups and downs and everything in between. There is loads of information available that give you the facts about what it's like to be diagnosed with cancer, what happens next, what the options are for treatment and a how to have a life alongside a cancer diagnosis. Most of these are written by those who have never had cancer. Not many of them share the emotional and psychological effects that being diagnosed have. This book does. It talks about the real side effects of chemo, the strange things you crave or can't stand, the powerful friendships that develop and the fierce spirit within, which is determined to beat cancer. It's not a "poor me" story......it's a frank and honest account that has one purpose - to help other people who find themselves with a cancer diagnosis, to show them that what they are thinking and feeling is "OK," that they aren't alone and that it's ok to have a laugh. "What Doesn't Kill You, Makes You Stronger" - very frank, very honest and very true.
