A Note From Genae
When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I went
directly to the bookstore and bought every book I could find
about the topic. On those self help shelves I found medical
books, long memoirs and tales of depressing woe. As I made
my way from shelf to counter, the stack of books looked
like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. As I poured through the
books, I realized there needed to be a different voice
screaming from those shelves. A voice of humor, irony and
conviction. A book that says, "I have cancer, but cancer is
not me."
