On December 7, 2001, thirty-five-year-old Kimberly
Fairchild's world turned upside down when she heard the
life-changing words, "You've got cancer."I'd Give My Left
Boob for That . . . Oh, Wait, I Already Did details one
woman's journey before, during, and after her courageous
battle with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, the most common form
of breast cancer. With no family history and a fairly
healthy life, Fairchild shares how she got past the
shocking diagnosis and subsequently relied on laughter and
humor to help her through one of the most difficult and
darkest times of her life. As she faced new challenges,
fears, and physical discomfort, Fairchild describes how her
diagnosis affected everyone around her-all in different
ways-and how she learned to accept their comforting words
and return the favor when they too needed reassurance. From
surgery to chemotherapy to reconstructive surgery,
Fairchild provides an emotional, sometimes humorous, yet
intensely honest portrayal of what it's like to experience
breast cancer.Written with the desire to help others, this
eye-opening glimpse into the world of breast cancer shares
the compelling story of how an ordinary girl fought the
extraordinary fight of her life-and won.
