At age 38, Lillie Shockney was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent mastectomies in 1992 and 1994. In this telling memoir of personal and medical triumph, she shares her unique approach to her diagnosis, informed by her years as a nurse and her knowledge of doctors and hospitals. Her work in the medical field helped her decide she would approach her challenge with caring for her own caregivers, compassion for her family, hope and prayer, and above all, humor. Throughout, she talks candidly about her experiences, from informing her 12-year-old daughter about her diagnosis to her fears about how her mastectomy would change her marriage and sex life.
