Cancer changes everything.
For me, in a few short moments, the future I had worked so hard for was suddenly gone – replaced with a mix of all things terrible.
One moment, I was a normal, healthy person with her whole life ahead of her. The next, I was so sick I couldn’t walk or talk.
Reading was one of the few things I could do when my body didn’t let me do much of anything else.
It gave me something to hang on to – my life raft.
Here is a list of books that I read in those very first touch and go moments and some of my reflections on them. I also added a few tips that I learned on the way.
The road ahead is rough but you are not alone. Rally the troops and keep up the hope. Through this post and the ones to come, I hope we can walk together through this crazy, disorienting time towards a better, healthier tomorrow.
Many blessings and lots of love,
