Overview
Diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2000, poet and author Myra Schneider turned to her writing to help her come to terms with the experience. In this difficult but ultimately uplifting book, she shows how creative and autobiographical writing helped her through diagnosis, treatment and recovery - as well as the change in self-image following her mastectomy. Drawing from her own writings about her life with cancer, she develops practical ideas and exercises for using writing in personal development. This positive book provides inspiration and support to people affected by cancer, and all those interested in the interplay of creative writing and therapy.Synopsis
