Non-Fiction Memoir
A definitive and approachable guide to life during, and
after, breast cancer
The biggest risk
factor for breast cancer is simply being a woman.
Madhulika Sikka's A Breast Cancer Alphabet offers a
new way to live with and plan past the hardest diagnosis
that most women will ever receive: a personal, practical,
and deeply informative look at the road from diagnosis to
treatment and beyond.
What Madhulika Sikka didn't
foresee when initially diagnosed, and what this book brings
to life so vividly, are the unexpected and minute challenges
that make navigating the world of breast cancer all the
trickier. A Breast Cancer Alphabet is an
inspired reaction to what started as a personal
predicament.
This A-Z guide to living with breast
cancer goes where so many fear to tread: sex (S is for Sex -
really?), sentimentality (J is for Journey - it's a cliché
we need to dispense with), hair (H is for Hair - yes, you
can make a federal case of it) and work (Q is for Quitting -
there'll be days when you feel like it). She draws an
easy-to-follow, and quite memorable, map of her travels from
breast cancer neophyte to seasoned veteran.
As a
prominent news executive, Madhulika had access to the most
cutting edge data on the disease's reach and impact.
At the same time, she craved the community of frank talk and
personal insight that we rely on in life's toughest
moments. This wonderfully inventive book navigates the
world of science and story, bringing readers into
Madhulika's mind and experience in a way that demystifies
breast cancer and offers new hope for those living with it.
