An Encouraging Breast Cancer Survivors Story. "While Coping With Breast Cancer" by F.T. Hashem chronicles a health battle far too many women face. After the diagnosis, most women search for and need all the support and encouragement that is available. This book fills those emotional needs while providing ideas on how to cope with the disease that has invaded their body. May 6, 2004 -- Finding a lack of books on the shelves dealing with personal accounts of struggles with breast cancer was quite disturbing to me. After searching my local library I found one short journal that was so encouraging and supportive of other women struggling with breast cancer that I knew I had to try to offer that kind of support by writing a journal. "While Coping With Breast Cancer" started out as a journal and a therapudic way of coping. About a month after I was diagnosed my beloved father died suddenly of a stroke. I have been ill since birth and my father was my main supporter. He saw me through every crisis with his strength and optomistic views. Now I had to face breast cancer without him and I just felt like I was never going to climb that mountain unless I did something meaningful. So as the book evolved I was determined to offer hope and ideas to other breast cancer victims. I told of my way of coping with the disease and designed a self-help program that I outline in the book. All royalties from the sales of "While Coping With Breast Cancer" will be donated to cancercare.org. It is my hope to bless other women through my writing and to increase future sales for donations. |
