About the Book

Are you terrified of cancer and secretly hope it never impacts you or someone you love?

Diane M. Simard takes readers on a raw, inspirational, humorous ride, reliving her 10 months of treatment for late Stage III breast cancer that ultimately helped her embrace her differences and brought more attention to the often-overlooked psychological impact of cancer.

Her enthralling book, which won third place in the memoir category of the 2019 Colorado Independent Publishers Association's EVVY awards (an international competition), is:

-A candid, honest, uplifting story for spouses, partners, family caregivers and those who receive a cancer diagnosis.
-Alternatively witty and heartbreaking.
-The book she wished she had been able to read when she was first diagnosed and kept asking, What does cancer feel like?
-The account of a life-changing traumatic experience that exposed Diane's vulnerabilities and catapulted her resilience.
-An unexpected triumph of how Diane used her cancer experience to become the founder of a pycho-social oncology specialty training program that is being emulated across the country.

Recognized as one of the inaugural National Top 100 Women in Business to Watch by BizWomen.com, Diane's career achievements as a business writer and an aerospace executive also include being named one of the Top Women in Energy and the 2016 Outstanding Woman in Technology by the Denver Business Journal. She has also been recognized as a Girl Scouts Woman of Distinction.
