Synopsis

“Give me a year of your life and I will give you your life.”I can’t really remember the conversation that followed, I felt like a child sitting in the headmaster’s office. This was serious, this was actually happening. Why couldn’t I react? I was 49 years old. A wife, a mum, but cancer has no prejudice. Despite the grueling treatment, I was inspired by the courage of others who showed me that there was humour to be found even in the most bizarre situations. From losing my hair to losing my memory, there was one clear message: I lost my boob, not my sense of humour.“As nurses we try to empathise with our patients, but I don’t think we truly fully understand what our patients go through. This has opened my eyes… I laughed and I cried when I read this book.”–Anne Scott, senior practice nurse.“I would recommend this book to anyone experiencing cancer in their lives. Gillian shows such humility and gratitude for all the help she has received throughout her arduous healing sojourn. It is a privilege and a joy to have read this very inspiring book.”–Margaret R. Craig, reiki master/teacher, holistic practitioner, nurse.“I inhaled this honest, real, and hugely informative book, which lifts the lid on what happens to millions of women with breast cancer diagnosis. Diaphragm-shudderingly touching and extremely funny, Gillian is a natural storyteller and this is a life affirming read.”–Karen Murdoch, BBC.“It’s amazing, it’s insightful, it’s funny, it’s sad and it’s bonkers. There are monologues, there is poetry, and there is a true manual of cancer. I cried, I laughed and I feel very privileged to have read it.”–Ali Park, comedian.
