Description

When Laura Jensen Walker was diagnosed with breast cancer on her first wedding anniversary, she found humor to be healing in the midst of terrifying circumstances. In this energetic and hope-filled book, she draws on her faith and her sense of humor to encourage others going through the same thing. From discovering that "bald is beautiful" to navigating the world of saline breast implants, Walker recounts the highs and lows of coping with cancer.Infused with strength and dignity, this classic book has now been revised and updated for a new generation, showing women confronting the disease--and those who love them--that faith, hope, and a healthy dose of laughter can make all the difference.

A well written book of the journey taken by those diagnosed with breast cancer. Written humourously, and in her dedication it says “Cancer is not funny, but humour is healing.” I really enjoyed reading this book. Full of info, and brings a person back to balance during a difficult time.
