Nice packaging and delivery. It came in perfect condition. I can't wait to read it!

So glad I happened upon this book and purchased it. Read it in one day. I totally agree with this woman that she decided to not wear a fake boob or have reconstruction. I'm sure that men are not given fake balls or told that they will not be men if they no longer have their junk because cancer has taken that away. How awful that the author was told in the doctors office that she was bringing down morale because she would not wear her fake boob! I think it was nice back then that women weren't shoved out of the hospital the same day as surgery or next day like they are today. I'm some ways it was better back in the 1970's. The articles and commercials today make it seem that breast cancer is so manageable with medications but they do come with collateral damage. I think every woman should read this book whether or not she has cancer. It is very good! Wish the author was still living.

Audre Lorde is the best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2021

This book is an excellent exploration of what it means on the individual level to deal with breast cancer, a disease and process particularly affecting women. Lorde also, with wonderful clarity, focuses on herself as Black, Lesbian, and Feminist as a way to analyze disease, pain, and social positionality in reference to this particular cancer, the particular outcomes of this cancer, and how disease and pain are not separable from who we are in the world.

This book was a very insightful look into the life of a postop patient. I already admire Audre Lorde but seeing her grapple with life death and sexuality was humbling.

Audre wrote this book in the late 70s and a lot of things have change with diagnosis and recovery. She is very bitter and sheds a very negative tone about medicine/surgical options. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone newly diagnosed.

For those familiar with Lorde's work this is definitely a must read. She chronicles her battles with cancer and her body. Lorde even finds a way of theorizing about the way women's bodies, in particular women's breast and hair, are made into the "containers" of femininity in American culture such that to lose them, women are made to feel inadequate.

The Cancer Journal

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

The Cancer Journal by A. Lorde is a rambling tale of how Ms. Lorde felt when she was being treated for cancer. I was disappointed because the details were missing regarding her relationships at that time. I wanted more details from this prolific self proclaimed black warrior. This book does not portray her as a warrior but rather as a baffled women fighting cancer. I understand the lack of coherence, I too had the battle with breast cancer, however this is not a book of support. This is a book about losing the battle.

Good but treatment has come a long way since written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

A very interesting take on body-image and identity after mastectomy - Andre Lourde goes into detail about how she felt pressured to accept a prosthesis and why she resisted. Interesting perspective but I think it's important to remember that this was written a couple of decades ago. Breast cancer surgery will never be a nice experience but it has come on a lot since this was written - if you are anxious at the prospect of it, this may not be the most helpful guide. However, if you have come through it and want to explore the implications and sociopolitics, its a quick and interesting read.

The writing is superb, the quality of the printing much less so. The cover and pages are flimsy.

bello come tutto quello che ho letto di Audre Lorde

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on January 27, 2017

penso possa essere una lettura importante per una donna con il cancro o per una donna che le è vicino. anche se non è un libro recente, perché molti cambiamenti sociali in proposito sono stati di facciata (a parte il miglioramento delle cure).
meno per interessante se il malato è un uomo, almeno per certe specificità.
coraggio a tutti i malati!
