Shivering In A Paper Gown Breast Cancer And Its Aftermath An Anthology [Paperback]

The arc of cancers narrative is a long one. For some, the aftermath of cancer starts immediately upon being diagnosed. For others, it sneaks in, a shadow extending its reach. The books authors have many stories to tellstitching broken and scarred bodies back together, reconstructing identities, denying and confronting and accepting death. This anthology reveals the realities of life, through and with cancer, as the authors learn how to survive and in the process, how to live. The stories beg the reader to step into the space that cancer has razed, to consider what is most beloved and cherished, and to ask what the sum of ones life will be.
