Description:

When Kathlyn Conway was diagnosed with breast cancer and lymphoma, her reaction was not one of weakness or resignation so much as indignation. The 40-year-old mother of two had already survived a bout with Hodgkin's disease in her youth. To have to face the terrible course of chemotherapy, as well as the fear and uncertainty, amid the travails of her normal routine, seemed sheer agony. As a professional psychotherapist, Conway had training that provided her some insight, but it could not stave off the growing sense of despair that came as she grew sicker. Incredible in its steely look at life and death, Kathlyn Conway's book achieves the writer's essential task, putting her experience into unyielding, unforgettable prose.
