Sara, a busy, married, forty-two-year-old mother of two and part-time lawyer commuting into London, managed her life by to-do list after to-do list. However, when breast cancer appeared on her list, her life was thrown upside down and she had to make a few changes. With the combination of medical appointments, scans, and harsh treatment, Sara's dignity, grace, and composure all flew out the window, but she did retain the ability to get herself organized and make a few lists to help her through the treatment. Armed with a multitude of shopping lists, to-do lists, and checklists, she made it through eighteen months of grueling cancer treatment to the other side, where, for the past couple of years, she's been basking in the glow of hair regrowth, new eyebrows, and a renewed love for life. Ticking Off Breast Cancer is a chronological narrative of Sara's life from the day of her diagnosis and throughout her treatment. It follows Sara as she deals with the physical, emotional, and mental challenges thrown at her by cancer and provides an honest insight into the treatment given to a breast cancer patient and the impact that this has on someone's life. By sharing many of her to-do lists in the form of checklists at the end of each chapter, Ticking Off Breast Cancer provides thoughtful, helpful advice for every step of the way. Whether read as a companion for someone going through cancer treatment themselves or as a guide for someone with a loved one or friend going through cancer treatment, Ticking Off Breast Cancer provides support and encouragement throughout. The book accompanies Sara's website of the same name, www.tickingoffbreastcancer.com, which provides praise for the book and offers additional resources and support for those affected by breast cancer.
