Liz O'Riordan, surgeon and breast cancer survivor
Ian Dunt, political journalist and broadcaster This is a cancer story you'll actually want to read. With humour and honesty, it details Hayley Gullen's fight for individuality during the toughest time of her life. But this is no ordinary account. Hayley takes you on her journey with an uplifting, quirky graphic memoir which outlines her breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 37. She illustrates her experiences navigating the NHS and the importance of maintaining her sense of self throughout the dehumanising process of cancer treatment. The storytelling and cartoons are perfectly paired to show the emotional ups and downs of living with cancer. This book is a companion for anyone facing treatment, helping them to feel less alone, as well as for their loved ones.
Review Quotes
"...bravely explores this life changing journey, with both pathos, grit and humor" --Sonja O'Hara, Emmy-nominated filmmaker and actress
"This is truly brilliant. It will help so many people" --Dr Anisha Patel, GP, author and cancer survivor "A refreshing take on the cancer pathway from someone who truly knows. Will help those affected and those not to understand" --Dr Philippa Kaye "Absolutely fabulous and should be prescribed for every woman starting their treatment" --Greg Wise "A poignant, funny, heart wrenching, beautifully artistic look at the rollercoaster of cancer and the aftermath of recovery. It is a story for the cancer patient and their community; a piece of a map for when the world feels like it is falling apart" --Gaia Wise "One of the most truthful and unflinching accounts of a diagnosis and navigating the cancer system. It is heartwarming, and soft, but also is unflinching in the anger and despair I know so many of us feel." --Rosa Hesmondhalgh, actress and cancer survivorAbout the Author
