When Margit Esser Porter was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 34, the advice of a Colorado river guide floated to mind: "Take an active participation in your own survival." Drawing on the experiences of others who survived the anxious days and months that follow a positive lab report, Esser offers up their words of faith, hope, rage, fear, and counsel. One woman was told by a well-meaning male friend that breast cancer was the best kind of cancer to get. "I should have replied that prostate cancer was the best kind for a woman to get, but I was too blown away to respond," she says. Another woman, dealing with chemotherapy, wryly notes: "Everyone tells me to try to keep a positive attitude. Is that supposed to help me or them? I'm taking poison! Let's reality test, please!" Many suggestions--some obvious, others inventive--and a good assortment of resources round out the book.
Book Description
Margit Esser Porter sent out questionnaires to hundreds of women who have been through treatment for breast cancer, asking them what personal advice they'd give a woman just receiving that diagnosis. Their responses, collected in this book, range from how to tie a turban and what to eat while undergoing chemotherapy to finding time for yourself and reaching out for love. Including statements from Sandra Day O'Connor, Julia Child, Linda Ellerbee, and Fran Visco; a glossary of important terms; and a resource section, Hope Is Contagious offers wisdom, hope, and inspiration from friends who've been there.
