A journey doesn't always involve travel. So discovered adventurer Emma Scattergood.
In 2022, Emma was told she had stage 3 invasive lobular breast cancer. Unclear of what this actually meant, she turned her energy towards understanding and fighting this increasingly diagnosed disease and, over time, realised this was another of her journeys that needed to be shared.
This insightful and entertaining book is the result. An 18-month roller-coaster of an adventure through diagnosis, double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation treatment and hormone therapy. A personal journey encompassing conventional and integrative treatment methods, infection, supplements, diet, exercise and more.
Full of relevant medical facts, helpful recommendations and told how it is, Emma has managed to engagingly -
- Shine awareness on how breast cancer can be detected and what can happen once it has.
- Offer guidance and support to the newly diagnosed.
- Provide perception to the unaware.
To further illustrate the impact of breast cancer, Emma also includes stories from eleven other fighters, each with their own unique journey and story of survival.
