About the Book

DESCRIPTION

The worst has happened-you've been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now what?

For Jagroop Takhar, a breast-cancer diagnosis went from living nightmare to a powerful chance to find her own voice-a reminder that, in any struggle, we really are our own best advocates.

Takhar beat breast cancer. Now, she's written a book about her journey: full of advice, humour, wisdom, and personal anecdotes to inspire and help you on your own road to recovery.

The power to heal is inside us all. In today's busy world, obsessed with money and success, we neglect our own minds, bodies, and souls. I invite you to join me on an evolutionary journey through fear, sadness, honesty, hope, love, trust, fun, courage, and, ultimately, victory.

When I got my cancer diagnosis, I was furious. Doctors had ignored my symptoms for months, and now I was told I had a life-threatening disease. Getting through breast cancer was challenging-brain fog, weakness, depression, bone aches, and more. But I did it all in style. And you can, too.

This book is my journey. Anyone dealt the bad hand of cancer knows that no amount of empathy or sympathy can end the experience. But hearing from survivors helps. There may be no magic pill to end breast cancer, but your mind is a powerful thing. Believing in yourself and looking within are key.

In this book I take you through my experiences, from treatment to recovery, surgery to counselling, chemotherapy to radiation. I also mix in practical advice, from naturopathic remedies and relating to your loved ones, to how to read your own pathology reports and what to wear to your treatment appointments.

I wrote this book to assist breast-cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers, especially those, like myself, in the South Asian community. You are not alone. Your voice matters, and your courage will get you through. You will emerge stronger than ever.

Be your own advocate, own your decisions, and let the inner power heal. - Jag Kaur Takhar
