Description:
This is the author's account of her struggle for life against stage IV metastatic breast cancer, which usually translates to a death sentence. The struggle, described with down-to-earth honesty and directness, is both horrifying and inspiring. Particularly grueling was the bone marrow transplant she went through in a last-ditch effort to save her life. Almost dead from huge doses of chemotherapy that destroyed her immune system along with the cancer cells, she had to stay in isolation for 25 days while her harvested bone marrow cells brought her back from the brink. Middlebrook survived a remarkable test of endurance.
