Synopsis

Lorena Mathien is a professor with a passion for giving back to the breast cancer community. Lorena’s sister is also a two-time breast cancer patient and her mother passed from the disease. She volunteers her time as a breast cancer mentor with a national organization. She and her sister also work with a national research organization studying sisters with cancer. The proceeds from this book will go to these two organizations. Lorena resides in Buffalo, NY with her husband, three amazing kids, and one crazy dog.

On her 40th birthday, after having a mother and sister both diagnosed with breast cancer in their 40s, Lorena announced that her turn for cancer was next. Four months later, after a routine scan, she heard those dreaded words, “You have cancer.” Fast forward nine years, as a two-time survivor and a self-proclaimed “Tigger,” Lorena brings you along on her journey after her second diagnosis, sharing her fears, feelings, and humor, as well as the knowledge she learned on the way. This is a must read for anyone affected by breast cancer.
