The book also explores how to manage the physical and emotional trauma of lymphedema, a little-known disorder affecting many cancer survivors due to lymph-node surgery.
&nbs | |  | | The Pebble Path: Returning Home from a Forest of Shadows
An inspirational fairy-tale/poetic allegory of Jan Hasak's path through two bouts with breast cancer and lymphedema.
Breast cancer gets a makeover as fairy tale in this inspirational tale. Few words strike more terror into one’s heart than “You have breast cancer.” Yet the author faced that very diagnosis, twice! How did she cope? By picking up pebbles of wisdom like Princess Fanciful did in the fairy-tale world of The Pebble Path.
Following her cancer diagnosis, Fanciful travels down a shadowy path through the forest of treatment. Along the way she expresses her thoughts through poetry. The poems of The Pebble Path allow the reader to contemplate cancer’s multiple facets. |
